Dana Nehdaran, Painter
What’s something you consider “cool” and how would you classify what cool is?
Someone who’s outgoing, laid back, and a smooth talker
Would you call yourself cool?
I think yes, because many people tell me I am. But for me, I feel like I’m cool with people and not as much with myself. For instance, if someone else makes a mistake I’m totally cool with it. But if I make a mistake, I’m not cool with myself.
What influences your style?
I have no preference for the way I dress. I just buy things piece by piece and kind of assemble them together to make a match. I like materials that are comfortable and feel good on the skin, that’s why I wear a lot of velvet.
What brings you at the Armory Show today?
To meet artists and to meet people. I just got here so I haven’t met anyone yet.
