DARNstudio is a collaboration of artists David Anthone and Ron Norsworthy. Their work investigates the built, designed, or otherwise manifested world we live in, breaks down its components and uncouples them from their implicit and inherited meaning(s). They then re-assemble in a way that disrupts its original function. Their work encourages alternative ways of understanding objects, ideas and structures through a process they refer to as “re:meaning.""  

David Anthone occupies unique interstitial space as an artist with DARNstudio and a historic preservation officer for the U.S. General Services Administration. His art practice investigates historical narratives and questions cultural norms while his government practice revolves around urban planning, design, and construction within historic preservation, public art and architecture.  

Ron Norsworthy is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work exists at the intersection of design and art. In addition to his work with DARNstudio, he is also known for his solo art practice, the iconic sets he created in music videos and TV as well as his eponymously titled line of bedding and products for QVC UK. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows and appeared in various major publications and media platforms over the past two decades. Ron has his first solo show at Wassaic Project! Since then he has shown at Studio Museum, Long Gallery Harlem, Project for Empty Space, to name a few. NY Times has called him "a man of relentless self-invention."
