Eben Haines
Eben Haines was born in Boston, Massachusetts and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts with honors from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. His work emphasizes the history and process of objects, focusing on human form and the built environment. Through a process of building up and covering over his material, Haines aims to present hand, object and image simultaneously.
Haines was a recipient of the 2018 Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship in Drawing as well as the 2021 James and Audrey Foster Prize from the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, Haines, along with Delaney Dameron, created the Shelter in Place Gallery, a 1:12 scale exhibition space, which was acquired by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In 2022, Haines won a Now + There Public Accelerator Grant; his Tide House project is currently on view at Menino Park in Charlestown. Haines lives and works in Boston.
