Snarkitecture is a New York-based collaborative design practice established to investigate the boundaries between disciplines. The name is drawn from Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of The Snark, a poem describing the “impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature.” In its search for the unknown, Snarkitecture creates work that includes large-scale projects, installations and objects. Snarkitecture’s work focuses on the reinterpretation of everyday materials, structures and programs to new and imaginative effect. With a conceptual approach centered on the importance of experience, the studio creates unexpected and memorable moments that invite people to explore and engage with their surroundings.

Daniel Arsham is a New York-based artist who blurs the boundaries of art, architecture and performance. Born in Miami, Arsham attended The Cooper Union in New York City, where he received the Gelman Trust Fellowship Award in 2003. Architecture remains a prevalent subject throughout his work, whether it means environments with eroded walls and stairs that lead nowhere, landscapes where nature overrides structure, or a general sense of playfulness within existing architecture. Arsham makes architecture do things it is not supposed to do, mining everyday experiences for opportunities to confuse and challenge people’s expectations of space and form.
