Adriana Farmiga (b. 1974) is an interdisciplinary artist and a first generation Ukrainian-American, by way of Argentina. Farmiga’s work operates in a realm of dichotomous iconographies that mirror her experience of cultural shifts, while considering queerness in our everyday. Her drawings, sculptures, and video installations have been exhibited in the U.S. and abroad, including such venues as: Triple Candie, Tensta Konsthall, Socrates Sculpture Park, Dorsky Museum, Ukrainian Museum, and in a range of commercial and non-profit gallery spaces in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. In 2016, Farmiga was an artist-in-residence at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans. She is a faculty member and assistant dean at the Cooper Union, and is a vocal advocate for free education and community building. She holds a B.F.A. from Cooper Union, and an M.F.A. from Bard College. At MacDowell, she initiated a new body of work after several back-to-back exhibitions (solo gallery and traveling institutional). Earlier works that were further developed at MacDowell were shown at Marisa Newman Projects (NY), La Mama Gallery (NY), and The Ukrainian Museum (NY and Chicago).
