Brendan Nash
Founder
Our founder, Brendan Nash, is an entrepreneur, computer scientist and engineer who has focused on the development of games, hosting, licensing, banking and related systems for the past two decades.
Brendan has both a love and passion for Arts and science and is interested in concepts that will bring about a responsible curation of space through the Arts.
"Space is for everyone, and if we can provide the tools for people to interact with space in a meaningful way, perhaps we will have a greater appreciation for the gift that connects us all."
Maskull Lasserre
Co-Founder
Our co-founder, Maskull Lasserre, is a celebrated Canadian artist and entrepreneur whos work has exhibited widely from the Museum of Art and Design in New York to the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal.
His sense of the outrageous, dark humour and surrealist world view are likely what inspired Banksy to invite him to present his works at "Dismaland".
Maskull's interest in unorthodox methods and unexpected sculptural materials has lead to this collaboration where SkyArk now offers space as a new background for visual art.
