Max Eternity reports from Occupy Oakland, the scene of a heavy-handed police crackdown earlier this week.

Max Eternity is a visionary artist who has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows. In 2020, Eternity was invited by the European Cultural Centre to exhibit his architectural designs for the Biennale Architettura 2021 — La Biennale di Venezia. In his role as preservationist, Eternity submitted the successful 2010 nomination to the World Monuments Fund (WMF) for the Marcel Breuer designed Atlanta-Fulton Central Public Library — which set precedent as the youngest public building listed on the oldest international historic preservation registry. Eternity has created over 1,000 architecture and furniture designs in addition to building a lifelong portfolio of sculptures, paintings and prints, and in 2017, one of his furniture designs was included in the Oceanco Summer Showcase Magazine published for the Monaco Yacht Show. Eternity’s also a contributing author to a book published in 2015 on socioeconomic policy, entitled, At Issue: Poverty in America, held in hundreds of public and college libraries.
