DANIEL ARSHAM ON PERPETUALITY
An artist who does not conform to the conventional, much of Arsham’sworks provide an unexpected dimensionality, with consideration to theimpact of time on human environments, eroded architecture and relics,
and landscapes where nature overrides structure. During the residency,
Arsham will bring Patina’s concept of Perpetuality – a never-ending journeyof our positive impact on people and place – to life. Arsham will be thesecond artist in residency for this three-part series on Perpetuality that
explores humanity’s impact on nature and civilization, with James Turrell
being the first.
After the residency is completed, Arsham’s artworks, inspired by andfinished at Patina Maldives, will be displayed in an exhibition on the island
for three months. Patina guests will gain access to a special preview sale of
the artworks while on island before they are made available to the public
on theartling.com.
With art a focal point of the Patina property, Arsham is in good company
with Patina Maldives’ existing collection of artworks from international
artists, including works such as Amarta - the latest in the long-runningseries of ‘Skyspaces’ by renowned U.S. artist and influential member of theCalifornia Light and Space movement, James Turrell and Home Deep Blue,a six-meter-wide tapestry by New York-based artist Hiroko Takeda.

collaboration and connective conversations. Each residency guides guests

ABOUT DANIEL ARSHAM
Daniel Arsham is a Cleveland-born New York-based interdisciplinary artist
whose artistic endeavours extend beyond traditional art world platforms.
His art plays with the concept of future history and fictional archaeology,
presenting fossilised versions of contemporary objects and architecture.
Raised in Miami, Daniel Arsham studied art at The Cooper Union in New
York. He graduated and received the Gelman Trust Fellowship in 2003. His
ensuing practice has crossed the disciplines of drawing, film, sculpture,installation, and architecture, playfully historicising the tangible culturaland material icons of the contemporary era.
Architecture is another core element of Daniel Arsham’s practice, wherethe artist often plays with the architectural environment of the gallery. In
several works, artefacts and objects intersect with exhibition walls. The
analogue clock in Falling Clock (2011), for example, appears to have been
lodged into a softened gallery wall. He also constructs surreal architecturalenvironments, such as the monochrome Japanese zen gardens of Blue
Garden (2017) and Lunar Garden (2017).

Company; signed to Adidas; collaborated with Dior and Pharrell Williams;
and in 2020 he became creative director for the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA
team in his home state of Ohio.
