Barry Freedland was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1968. A graduate of Arizona State University, he earned his M.F.A. at the School of the Museum of Fine Art, Boston/Tufts University in 1993. Freedland's sculpture, which often includes interactive, robotic and performance elements, combines a playful wittiness with the skilled sense of technical expertise and craft. His work ranges from minute to large installations ranging in themes from his own body and the language of art, with much of his work reacting to human presence. His artistic engagement with material (Dubble Bubble Bubble gum or his own DNA), technique and process are a reflection on human nature, machines and our own consciousness.

From the Painting Machine, a mechanized framework that suspends Freedland upside down, using his hair as a human paint brush as if he were a merely a tool for the production of art; to Artist DNA and Barry Pills quick fixes into understanding the artists work, - just eat this pill or take my DNA and you are a part of me, Freedland redefines the extraordinary - in an ordinary world.

Freedland's work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions, including the Blüetenweiss Gallery, Berlin, Boston Center for the Arts; Real Art Ways, CT; Arlington Museum of Art, TX; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Sundaram Tagore Gallery, New York.
