Misha Kahn

Misha Kahn’s work exists at the intersection of design and sculpture, spanning a wide range of media and scales—from small objects to architectural forms. He embraces both traditional and experimental techniques, including casting, carving, welding, and weaving, while also developing inventive, one-of-a-kind methods that give each piece a unique character. His objects often combine functionality with surreal, playful, and unpredictable elements, challenging conventional definitions of design and art. Kahn moves fluidly between different creative processes, shifting from hand-drawn sketches and watercolor studies to clay modeling and virtual reality design. This interplay between traditional craftsmanship and experimental approaches allows him to produce works that feel spontaneous, rigorous, and deeply imaginative. Each piece embodies a dialogue between chaos and control, humor and precision, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationship between utility, narrative, and aesthetics. At the core of his practice is a fascination with transformation and reinvention. By reinterpreting ordinary materials in unexpected ways, Kahn transforms everyday objects into playful, thought-provoking forms that carry emotional and conceptual weight. His work ultimately positions design as a space for exploration, delight, and creative freedom, turning the familiar into something entirely new and expressive. ...

The Breeder gallery was formed organically from The Breeder magazine due to the need of Athenian artists to promote international dialogue. Over the last 20 years The Breeder has been a pioneer in the development of the contemporary art scene in Athens. They show art that is relevant to our times and promote a select group of Greek artists on the global arena while also showing cutting edge international artists. The Breeder serves as a link that connects cultures and supports a deeper exchange. They support their community by providing an active platform for the exchange of ideas and ideals. In 2019 they introduced The Breeder Open Studio initiative, where the gallery is available to invited artists prior to their show. Working onsite the artists have the opportunity to engage with the audience in more substantial ways. Invited artists of the Breeder Open studio, include Ariana Papademetropoulos, Chioma Ebinama, Joy Labinjo, Ekene Stanley Emecheta, Victor Ubah, Barry Yusufu and Adegboyega Adesina. ...
