Biography
Nan Freeman was born in Houston. She is widely known for her dramatically large charcoal drawings of small-scale, intimate objects such as tiaras, jewelry, hair ornaments, and silverware, which carry great social and cultural potency. She sustains an active record of exhibitions nationally and internationally including recent one-person exhibitions in: The Museum of Fine Arts Boston; The Cheekwood Museum Nashville; The Gibson House Museum Boston; The Baer Art Centre, Hofsos Iceland; Galerie Nev Istanbul, and Galerie al Riwaq, Manama Bahrain. She has held numerous exhibitions of her work in collaboration with Feridun Ozgoren, including at the Fitchburg Museum, and the National Museum of Painting and Sculpture, Istanbul. Her works are in numerous public and private collections worldwide. Permanent public art projects include her “Bridge of Hope” mural at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Boston. She has received two grants from the Andrew Mellon Foundation, two Fulbright Fellowships, grants from the governments of Spain and Bahrain, and the Massachusetts Council of the Arts and Humanities; as well as three Herbert Cushman Fund Faculty Grants from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Freeman earned her undergraduate degree at Smith College, her Master’s at the University of Pennsylvania, and her PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the Department of Architecture. She has taught at Harvard University, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Wellesley College, Brandeis University, the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Marmara in Istanbul, and Bogazici University in Istanbul. Currently she is senior faculty at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Nan Freeman writes and speaks frequently on her own work, on contemporary art and artists, and on topics in popular culture, most recently Blue Jeans; America’s National Pants (2007).
