Adriana Farmiga (born July 17, 1974)[1] is an American visual artist, curator, and teacher based in New York City. She has exhibited her work in both North America and Europe. Farmiga serves as a programming advisor for the non-profit space La Mama La Galleria in the East Village, Manhattan, and teaches at her alma mater Cooper Union.
Early life
Farmiga was raised in a small Ukrainian community, and is the paternal cousin of actresses Vera Farmiga and Taissa Farmiga.[2] She was educated at Cooper Union (alongside Amy Cutler), from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1996.[3] Farmiga went on to study at the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College (taught by the late installation artist Maryanne Amacher), from which she received her Master of Fine Arts degree in 2004.[4]
Career
Since graduating, Farmiga has taught classes at the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, and at her alma mater Cooper Union.[5] She has worked with Cooper Union's Outreach Program since 2008.[6] Additionally, she has been a guest lecturer at the Rhode Island School of Design.[7][8]
Farmiga has shown many solo exhibits, including objects (2001) in New Orleans,[9] 'Scape (2006) in Miami,[10] and Versus (2012) in New York.[11] In 2004, Farmiga was among artists displaying work in the exhibition The Reality of Things at Triple Candie in Harlem.[12] In 2008, she received the Emerging Artist Fellowship from Socrates Sculpture Park.[13]
In 2011, Farmiga worked as a curator and artist on her cousin Vera Farmiga's directorial debut film Higher Ground.[14] That same year, her work appeared in Thisorganized, a group exhibit curated by painter Hope Gangloff, which displayed at the Susan Inglett Gallery.[15] In 2013, Farmiga was part of the Screen Play exhibition at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art in New Paltz.[16] The following year, she was one of 16 artists chosen, from over 320 applicants, to display her work at the Worlds of Wonder exhibit, also shown at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art.[17]
