A conversation with Daniel Arsham about his new memoir that touches on failures, disasters, detours, and how he made a career as an artist
About this Event

Artist and 2003 Cooper Union School of Art alumnus Daniel Arsham shares stories on his journey as a creative and offers advice that breaks through the mystique of the art world as part of a Cooper Union Gardiner Foundation Great Hall Forum event. The program which celebrates the release of Arsham’s book Future Relic: Failures, Disasters, Detours, and How I Made a Career as an Artist will offer practical tips for anyone pursuing an artistic career such as how to find gallery representation.

Registration on EventBrite is required. However, an EventBrite ticket does not guarantee entry as this is a first-come-first-served free event.

Daniel Arsham is an artist whose work blends sculpture, architecture, performance, and design into a singular vision shaped by time, memory, and material experimentation. His now-iconic “eroded” aesthetic—artifacts rendered as if excavated from the future—has become a signature visual language that speaks to impermanence, nostalgia, and transformation. Born in Cleveland and raised in Miami, Arsham became the youngest artist ever to work with legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham. His work is in the collections of the world‘s most acclaimed museums, and he has collaborated with major brands from Dior to Adidas.
