Misha Kahn: Casually Sauntering the Perimeter of Now

This publication offers an immersive journey spanning a decade of Misha Kahn's artistic endeavors. Characterized by their glitzy, whimsical, and unconventional nature, his creations defy easy categorization, ranging from underwater mosaic sculptures to scrap-metal chaise longues and even a gem-encrusted, wrist-worn ball game. Misha, refusing to be pigeonholed as either an artist or a designer, embraces each new material and technical challenge with unbridled enthusiasm, constantly pushing boundaries and defying expectations.

Produced in collaboration with Friedman Benda, this marks Misha's inaugural foray into the world of book publishing. Within its pages, readers will find a rich tapestry of Misha's creative process, including sketches, behind-the-scenes snapshots, and final installations, all complemented by insightful conversations with fellow luminaries such as Nick Haramis, Dries Van Noten, WangShui, Kellie Riggs, Todd Oldham, and Su Wu. Writer and curator Glenn Adamson provides a thoughtful introduction, offering reflections on Misha's evolution over the years, while Misha himself adds a personal touch by annotating the book with commentary on his own words and works.
