Brief Bio:
[edit]Max Eternity is a visionary artist, writer and historian, with a special interest in social justice. He’s a featured arts and humanities writer at Truthout and [formerly at] The Huffington Post. Eternity is the founder of the Eternity Group, which publishes MaxEternity.com, Art Digital Magazine (AD MAG) and other fine sites - receiving more than 500K hits per month. In his role as a cultural heritage advocate, Eternity penned the successful nomination to the World Monuments Fund (WMF) for the endangered Marcel Breuer designed Atlanta-Fulton Central Public Library - which resulted in that site being listed on the WMF’s 2010 Watch List - the youngest of all sites on a list which includes sites dating back up to 2 million years. Because he is also an inventor and industrial designer, and because he self-taught with no college degree(s), Eternity can simply be described as an autodidact. Known for his high-caliber feature-length interviews, Eternity has interviewed such notables as artist, Leo Villareal, Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow, Barry Bergdoll, Chief Curator of Architecture at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Dr. Cornel West of Princeton University, and Whitney Museum curator, Christiane Paul. A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Eternity lives and works in San Francisco.
