Out of our desire to connect with the person behind the art and to work with artists beyond the exhibition space, Cc Art Collaborations was born.
Through this platform we pair brands, institutions and companies with artists to infuse their worlds with creative power, fresh perspective and non-linear thinking.
Some of these collaborations are highlighted below. For more information you can visit our dedicated webpage.
“Artists possess a unique kind of freedom that shapes how they see and interpret the world. Studio visits and deep conversations with them always leave a lasting impression and invite perspectives that challenge and enrich my thinking. These encounters are a reminder of how meaningful and full of possibility life can be.”
Dirk Staudinger
Daniel Arsham, Jeff Koons, Gabriel Whaley
Throughout history, artists have not only created works but also shaped discourse – from Leonardo da Vinci at Renaissance courts, where his insights on science, nature, and society were sought by political elites, to Joseph Beuys, who brought artistic philosophy into public forums. Today, artists like Ai Weiwei continue this legacy, speaking at institutions such as the World Economic Forum to address human rights, freedom of expression, and the responsibilities of global leadership.
GABRIEL WHALEY – OMR 2025
For this year’s edition of OMR, Circle Culture and Miracle Music brought MSCHF founder Gabriel Whaley to the stage to share how art, distribution strategies and technology intersect to create disruptive product launches within global consumer culture. Known for manufacturing pop-cultural moments, MSCHF challenges conventional ideas of art and commerce.
JEFF KOONS – OMR 2024
For OMR 2024, Circle Culture and Miracle Music initiated and facilitated the appearance of Jeff Koons, one of the most influential and valuable living artists. The talk, moderated by bestselling author and entrepreneur Tim Ferriss, offered rare insights into Koons’ creative philosophy, cultural impact and the transcendence of art.
“Art is a vehicle that tries to train us to be able to open ourselves to experiences, to not have fear… to overcome judgement and be open to everything as it removes our anxieties.”
Jeff Koons
Ahead of the festival, our CEO, the team of Miracle Music and the OMR founder visited Koons’ New York studio to deepen the collaboration and gain firsthand understanding of his thinking, world views and creative process.
DANIEL ARSHAM – OMR 2023
2023 marked the first year Circle Culture and Miracle Music brought artistic voices to the OMR Festival stage. We initiated, curated and facilitated Daniel Arsham’s solo keynote as well as the talk “Cross-Cultural Entrepreneurship” featuring KITH founder Ronnie Fieg.
As longtime collaborators and close friends the two explored how art, design and retail intersect to shape global cultural brands. Their talk highlighted a shared approach to creative entrepreneurship rooted in trust, innovation, and vision. This spirit is also reflected in Daniel Arsham’s architecture firm, Snarkitecture, which designed the award-winning interiors of six international KITH stores. They both also serve as creative directors for NBA teams, underscoring the power of artists working across disciplines to shape culture in diverse fields.
Daniel Arsham and Kevin Earl Taylor take on Biotech
Artists often serve as catalysts for rethinking entrenched systems, much like Marcel Duchamp disrupted conventional notions of art and authorship. In the present day, Ólafur Elíasson exemplifies this role, acting as an advisor to political and corporate leaders – including Emmanuel Macron – on topics such as climate action, collective imagination, and the ethics of innovation.
DANIEL ARSHAM X JOYN BIO
Our first project with Arsham was based around a new visual identity for the biotech start-up Joyn Bio. For this we visited the acclaimed artist in his studio to gain impulses from his work for building a captivating visual identity.
KEVIN EARL TAYLOR X LEAPS BY BAYER
For the brand development for Leaps by Bayer, we invited the artist Kevin E. Taylor to our Insights team. His contributions have been incredibly fruitful since his art processed Bayer’s three central themes: animals, humans and plants.
André Saraiva and Aaron Rose as unique lenses for the moving picture
The transition from fine art into film making has long allowed artists to expand their narrative reach. Andy Warhol’s experimental films in the 1960s dissolved the boundary between gallery and screen. Artists bring visual intelligence and moral urgency into the mainstream, making film a space of both aesthetic innovation and public impact.
ANDRÉ SARAIVA DOCUMENTING SCOTT CAMPBELL FOR MINI
This Way Is My Way is a short film directed by André Saraiva, featuring renowned tattoo and visual artist Scott Campbell. The film explores Campbell’s philosophy of following instinct, creativity, and personal expression. Shot in his Brooklyn studio, it highlights his belief that authenticity in art comes from trusting one’s gut, symbolized by his creation of a homemade tattoo machine.
André Saraiva, known for his work in graffiti and fashion, brings an intimate, artful lens to Campbell’s story. The project reflects his and Circle Culture’s shared ethos of blending personal narrative with contemporary art.
AARON ROSE PORTRAYING ANA KRAŠ FOR THE CULTURAL
Bombonice is a short film directed by Aaron Rose as part of MINI’s “The Cultural” series, which explores contemporary creatives and their inspirations. This particular episode focuses on Ana Kraš, a Serbian-born, New York-based multidisciplinary artist known for her work in furniture design, photography, and illustration.
“The Cultural” represents a project in which we linked MINI to the ultimate freedom of artists. The overarching goal was to re-think traditional advertising and to address new target segments.
