Misha Kahn is a multi-talented artist who has created a vast body of work that spans a decade. His creations include underwater mosaic sculptures, scrap-metal chaise longues, and a gem-encrusted, wrist-worn labyrinth-style ball game. Kahn himself avoids categorization, as he fears it might limit his creativity and prevent him from exploring new and innovative ideas.

What sets Kahn apart is his boundless energy for every new material or technical challenge, combined with his unique ideas and aesthetics. This has made him a leading creative voice of his generation. His latest collaboration is with Friedman Benda, and it is his first ever book.

Inside the book, readers can explore Kahn's sketches, process shots, final works, and installation set-ups, contextualized by six candid conversations with other creative luminaries such as Nick Haramis, Dries Van Noten, WangShui, Kellie Riggs, Todd Oldham, and Su Wu. These conversations are prefaced by writer and curator Glenn Adamson, who reflects on Kahn's practice over the years, and the author adds his own commentary on the book by hand, annotating the book with commentary on his own words and works.

Kahn's work is characterized by its glitzy, wobbly, hairy, witty nature, and it reflects his passion for experimentation and exploration. His creations are a testament to his talent and creativity, and they continue to inspire and amaze audiences around the world.
