Max L. Feldman

Max L. Feldman (born London, 1988) is a writer, critic, and educator based in Vienna.

He’s covered about forgotten German abstract painters and witches from 17th century Sicily; minimalist sculpture in big museums and conspiracy theories about prehistoric aliens on TV; reviewed opera and school plays; written about war, architecture, illness, tourism, selfies—how we carry myths, griefs, and misunderstandings from the past into the present using psychoanalysis, political theory, surrealist methods, and philosophy to think through what we inherit, what we forget, and what gets repeated.

He studied at Heythrop College (University of London), Birkbeck College, The University of Warwick, and The New School for Social Research, New York.

Now he teaches at the University for Applied Arts in Vienna and University of the Arts Linz. He has also taught at Heythrop College, The University of Roehampton, and The Academy of Performing Arts in Prague.

His writing has appeared in Artforum, e-flux, Frieze, The Spectator, Hyperallergic, The New Criterion, Verso, Texte zur Kunst, Dublin Review of Books, and many others, reflecting a commitment to critical thinking across ideological and disciplinary lines.
