Darian Longmire is a conceptual artist from Chicago IL. He completed his MFA Candidacy in the upstate New York region at SUNY-Albany in 2018. After moving from the Midwest to the Northeast part of US, Darian began to combine his print based work, which explored physics, philosophy and outer space with wider ideas about time and space. Eventually discovering the close connection to sci-fi and technoculture, his research and ideas from the past have naturally developed into a larger artistic framework. Darian has successfully exhibited works in a number of shows including Black Quantum Futurism: Time Camp at the Icebox Projects in Philadelphia PA., The Donnelley Foundation in Chicago IL., as well as Collar Works gallery in Troy NY. He was awarded Best in Show for his thesis project, “Blackness in the Beginning and Blackness will be in the end” in 2018 by Suny-Albany.
