Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Aria Dean to share a taste of her taste on Perfectly Imperfect.

Aria Dean is an artist and writer currently based in Bed Stuy. She was the editor and curator of net art and digital culture at Rhizome before starting as the Co-Head of Film and TV Development at Arthur Jafa’s film studio where she works with writers and directors to develop their projects as well as some of her own. Aria is represented by Green Naftali in New York and Chateau Shatto in Los Angeles, and her work is currently on view in the Whitney Biennial. Dean is exceptional at everything she does and has killer taste. Lucky for us, Aria is here to tell us what she’s been into.
