As ComplexCon prepares to build on its successful Las Vegas debut, internationally acclaimed artist and designer Daniel Arsham has been appointed Global Artistic Director for the 2025 event, signaling a bold new chapter for the cultural festival.
Arsham, known for his innovative sculptural style that blurs the boundaries between art forms, will oversee all artistic programming, installations, and experiential elements across the event venues.
Arsham brings boundary-defying sculptural innovation to ComplexCon, directing all creative experiences with his visionary approach.
The appointment reflects ComplexCon’s commitment to merging art, pop culture, and innovation as it transforms from a niche gathering into a large-scale cultural phenomenon. Arsham’s signature futuristic, eroded aesthetic will be applied to custom, large-scale pieces designed to transform the Las Vegas Convention Center’s West Hall into an immersive environment.
His vision leverages Las Vegas’s architectural grandeur, creating site-specific interventions that engage both traditional and non-traditional art audiences.
Behind the scenes, Arsham personally oversees the development of installations through a collaborative process involving multidisciplinary teams and technological innovation.
His approach prioritizes experiential storytelling rather than mere visual spectacle, employing both digital and physical prototyping to guarantee installation precision. The creative journey will be documented and shared, offering attendees an insider perspective on the artistic process.
The 2025 festival expands to include art, music, food, film, style, and innovation, with Arsham leading curation of both established and emerging artists. The event will feature numerous networking opportunities for attendees to connect with influencers and industry professionals. His curatorial approach emphasizes diversity of voices and disciplines while encouraging cross-pollination between artists, musicians, chefs, and designers.
The event will feature partnerships with brands and creators for limited editions and exclusive drops, fostering a sense of community and collective creativity.
With Arsham at the helm, ComplexCon 2025 will combine outdoor and indoor elements to create dynamic, multi-sensory environments. Musical performances will be enhanced through streaming platforms that allow artists to expand their reach beyond the physical event space. Musicians participating in ComplexCon will have access to sync licensing opportunities for their original compositions, creating additional revenue streams beyond the festival itself. The integration of live performances by high-profile musicians will amplify the event’s cross-genre appeal, solidifying Las Vegas ComplexCon as an immersive, electrifying, and thought-provoking experience for all attendees scheduled for October 25 and 26 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
