Artist Daniel Arsham is best known for his reworking of architectural and natural forms of
the everyday. His surreal art has been exhibited around the world and will now been seen on the stage.
Beginning March 29th and running until April 4th, Arsham will be collaborating with the merce
cunningham dance company during the french national biennale of dance – festival val-de-marne in
paris. arsham created the in situ set for Merce Cunningham’s ‘au tour du paris’ events during the festival.
The performance events will take place in a variety of theatres around the city. this is arsham’s second
collaboration with the dance company, after his 2007 design for eyespace during the merce in miami
celebration. arsham’s design will integrate found objects and he will also be ‘cutting holes in the back
wall of the theater during the performance turning the architecture of the theater into the set.’ arsham
follows in the footsteps of robert rauschenberg who was cunningham’s artistic director from 1954-1964.
arsham lives and works in New York and Miami.
