Biographical / Historical

Nene Humphrey (born 1947) has worked as an interdisciplinary artist and educator from the 1970s onward. She grew up in Portage, Wisconsin. She was christened Mary Nene, but has used the name "Nene Humphrey" throughout her professional career as an artist.

Humphrey attended St. Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana and graduated in 1969 with her bachelor's degree in Art with a minor in English. She went on to earn a master's degree from the Cambridge-Goddard Graduate School of Education in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1972. Her master's thesis, "Art and Alternative Education for the Young Child," focused on engaging young children in the experience of art with practicing artists in the public schools. Her thesis was derived from her own experience teaching art in public and alternative schools. In 1978, Humphrey completed her M.F.A. at York University in Toronto, Canada. Her thesis project was conceptually as well as materially based, establishing the direction her art would take throughout her career. Humphrey moved to New York in 1978. In 1984, she married fellow artist Benny Andrews.

She has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the U.S. During her early career, she identified her family history and her childhood in Portage as a major influence in her artwork and actively worked to collect genealogical materials that informed her interests and her art. Her later work explores loss, the neurobiology of emotion and the beauty inherent in both. This work includes, drawing, field recordings, photography, video and sculpture. Since 2019 collaboration across disciplines has become increasingly important to Humphrey's practice. She has worked with musicians, scientists, filmmakers and performers to create installations, videos and performances in galleries, museums and theatrical venues.

Her work as an artist has achieved commercial and critical success, including a NEA Individual Artist Grant (1983), Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship (1986) and the "Anonymous was a Woman" Award (1999). Humphrey's work has been written about in numerous publications including The New York Times, Art in America and ArtNews, Sculpture Magazine, and Hyperallergic and is included in major private and public collections. She also taught at a number of institutions, including Parsons School of Art and Design, University of Connecticut, Princeton University and the Rhode Island School of Design. Since 2010 she has been the Artist in Residence at the New York University LeDoux Center for Neural Science.

She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Arrangement

This collection is divided into two series: Biographical Materials; and Exhibitions and Professional Work.

Scope and Contents

The Nene Humphrey papers are divided into two series: Biographical Materials; and Exhibitions and Professional Work.

The first series, Biographical Materials, contains genealogical information for not only the Humphrey family, but other relatives as well, including the Carroll, Soisson, and Williams families. These materials contain detailed genealogical charts, newspaper clippings, and family photographs, dating from the late-nineteenth century to the late-twentieth century. In addition, there are numerous audio tapes consisting of interviews with family members as well as oral histories.

This series also contains the records of Humphrey's education and early career, including drawings that she did as a child, school year books from high school and college, and items related to her M.A. and M.F.A. theses. Humphrey's master's thesis, "Art and Alternative Education for the Young Child," reflected her ongoing interest in art education as a dynamic experience. This material contains a run of photographic material that supported this thesis. Her M.F.A. project materials, including supporting text, video documents, and thesis committee documents are also included. In addition, it contains various materials relating to some pre-M.F.A. art projects, like "Connecticut Mapwalk". Incomplete correspondence from 1984 to 1992 is also included in this series.

In addition, there are several magazines and newspapers that document the aftermath of 9/11 that were collected by Humphrey who was living in New York at the time.

The second series, Exhibitions and Professional Work, document Humphrey's career as an artist. The materials in this series contain information about solo and group exhibitions and art events in which Humphrey has played a major role. Items include sketches, installation instructions, publicity materials, correspondence with various coordinators, and supplementary media. The supplementary media comes in the form of VHS video tapes, audio tapes, HTML files, and a DVD. This series also includes Humphrey's general writings about her works, a collection of sketchbooks, press releases, exhibition cards and catalogs, and exhibit posters. In addition, some miscellaneous items are found in this series like early color studies, a video clip of Humphrey's early lecture practice, and several filmstrips discussing "Contemporary Afro American Art," a teaching project, and some early color experiments.

Individually cataloged items can be found in UW Madison library catalog under the call number "Coll. ZM".
