Dawoud Bey: Seeing Deeply
@ Navy Pier
600 E Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
Opening Sunday, September 30th, from 3PM - 4PM
With images ranging from Harlem in the 1970s and 2000s, to photographs that commemorate the 1963 Birmingham church bombing, this volume offers a forty-year career retrospective of the MacArthur “Genius Grant” award-winning photographer Dawoud Bey. An introduction by scholar and curator Sarah Lewis, and essays by noted art historians, scholars, and educatorsâincluding Hilton Als, Maurice Berger, Jacqueline Terrassa, David Travis, Leigh Raiford, and Deborah Willisâexamines Beyâs evolving practice. An illustrated Chronology documents Beyâs diverse New York art community in the 1970s and 80s and places his work in the context of that community. Presented in partnership with the University of Texas Press and the Museum of Contemporary Art Store.
