daniel arsham is a new york based artist that straddles the line between art, architecture and performance. architecture is a prevalent subject throughout his work; environments with eroded walls and stairs going nowhere, landscapes where nature overrides structures, and a general sense of playfulness within existing architecture. to further expand the possibilities of spatial manipulation and collaboration, arsham founded snarkitecture in 2007 with partner alex mustonen to serve new and imaginative purposes.
