Anthony Carfello is a curator, editor, and educator currently serving as Visiting Assistant Professor for the Museum Studies Certificate.

Through his contributions to institutional and independent projects since 2007, Carfello traces how artworks, exhibitions, organizations, and places are imagined and experienced. Recently, he has worked as the Museum Manager/Curator of the Venice Heritage Museum, an initiative to preserve the stories of the famed beachside community in Los Angeles, CA. Since 2017 he has taught as an adjunct assistant professor for Temple University’s Los Angeles–based study program through their Film & Media Arts Department, and from 2022 to 2024 he taught art history in a similar study-away course for Elon University.

From 2020 to 2022, Carfello served as Deputy Director of the Wende Museum of the Cold War in Culver City, CA, overseeing the operation of an ambitious arts venue and archive of Eastern Bloc material culture. For a decade prior, he was Deputy Director of the MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House in West Hollywood, CA—a satellite location of the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria—where he curated and managed exhibitions while running the international MAK–Schindler residency program and stewarding historic modernist architecture.

His writing has appeared in Artillery, Camera Austria International, X-TRA, and elsewhere, and he has received support from the Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant for the online journal Georgia (with Shoghig Halajian and Suzy Halajian) and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

Carfello holds an M.F.A. in Fine Art from Otis College of Art and Design (Los Angeles), a B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and he studied at the University of Iowa.
