Created by Maximilian Goldfarb.

Freshkill, an architectural sculpture and serial transmission artwork, presents the story of a mobile object, its history, and potentiality. Recently built from the dismantled materials of a former emergency vehicle (M49), the unfolded form now serves as a field station constructed from the bones and artifacts of the truck. Tune in to this quarterly broadcast composed of local sound ecology, observational narration, and articulations of the mechanical components of the M49; its meanings and purpose reshaped as it traversed the machine of the road to arrive at its site in the forest of Wave Farm. This project, in its current iteration, has received support from the New York State Council for the Arts.

Maximilian Goldfarb has completed architectural, object, text, and media works with support from the Harpo Foundation, the Elizabeth Graham Foundation, NYSCA, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, The Kaplan Institute, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, and the Experimental Television Center. He has produced radio programming for WGXC for the past decade. Goldfarb is an author of “Architectural Inventions” (Laurence King Publishing, UK), “Handbook for Human Machines” (Pilot Editions), and “Remote Viewing: 500 Tableaux" (Publication Studio). His recent exhibition, "Numbers Station” was presented at the Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art in Fall 2023. Goldfarb is Director of Graduate Studies at University at Buffalo.
