Max Gavrich is a disabled artist and educator. He works across photographs, video, film, and installation. His projects span ambulatory studies of place (Stockton and the Central Valley; Lugo, a small town in northern Italy) to short films capturing the daily rituals of boys and men (Elvis Tribute Artists; semiprofessional arm wrestlers), to objects that that address the relationship between bodies and images through processes of aggregation and assembly, deformation and breakdown. Gavrich holds a BFA from Bard College and an MFA from Yale University. He currently teaches at California College of the Arts in San Francisco where he lives with his cat Agnès.
