Bio

Maximilian Goldfarb received his BFA from Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY. He completed his MS in Visual Studies in 2006 at MIT, in the Visual Arts Program, Department of Architecture.

Goldfarb is a maker of unsettled objects and soundscapes presented through methods of installation and transmission: Forms of production include books, object installations, site-based artworks, experimental architectures, and radio programming. His work often includes publication formats as a way of incorporating drawings and visual research process into a distributive aspect of works.

He has participated in numerous exhibitions in venues including, Sculpture Center, NY; Stadsgalerij, NL; Western Front, BC; White Columns, NY, and The Drawing Center, NY. A recent fellow at the MacDowell Colony, Goldfarb is co-author of Architectural Inventions (Laurence King Publishing), an archive of contemporary visionary architectural drawings. Goldfarb's recent exhibition, "Numbers Station" was presented at the Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art.
