Faivovich & Goldberg, founded in 2006, develop a polymathic exploration around Campo del Cielo, a region of northern Argentina struck by a meteorite shower during the Holocene. Their practice liquefies the demarcations between visual arts, historiography, bureaucracy and civic-astronomical detectivism, tempering the limits of epistemic elaboration around the same event. For nearly two decades, the duo has produced a diverse body of work illuminating broadly resonant themes: the dynamics between an object and its documentation, and the complexities inherent in institutional histories, personal, cultural and national relationships.

Some of their projects include Otumpa (Museo Moderno, Buenos Aires, 2023), ¡Saxa Loquuntur! (Galería Barro, Buenos Aires, 2022), Encuentro con El Mataco (Museo Histórico Provincial, Rosario 2019), Mesón de Fierro: Towards the XXII Century (United Nations, Vienna, 2019), Auf der Suche nach Mesón de Fierro (Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, 2018), Decomiso (ASU Art Museum, Arizona, 2018), Un meteorito para la Sociedad Científica del año 2105 (arteBA, Buenos Aires, 2018), numero (11 Gwangju Bienniale, South Korea, 2016), The San Juan Mass of Campo del Cielo en la Colección Guerrico (Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires, 2014), the weight of uncertainty (documenta 13, Kassel, 2012), Meteorit „El Taco'' (Portikus, Frankfurt, 2010), Retrato de La Sorpresa y los meteoritos que ya no están en Campo del Cielo (Parque Provincial Pigüen N‘Onaxá, Chaco, 2006.)
