Geoffrey Farmer

Canadian,
1967 -

Geoffrey Farmer is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans sculpture, performance, installation, and text. Over the past three decades, he has developed a materially and conceptually expansive practice grounded in fragmentation, transformation, and reassembly. Drawing from archival sources, cultural histories, and personal memory, his projects often unfold over time and resist fixed interpretation.

Farmer represented Canada at the 57th Venice Biennale (2017) and has shown work at institutions including Schinkel Pavilion (Berlin), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), and the Louvre Museum. His work is part of several public collections, including those of Tate, MoMA (NY), the AGO, the National Gallery of Canada and the Audain Art Museum.

He currently lives on Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i, where he completed agricultural training and is developing Community Flowers, a nonprofit flower farm. He also received a State of Hawai‘i microgrant to support local food production and address food security on the island.
