Book Description

ISBN-10: 0935573380 | ISBN-13: 978-0935573381 | Publication Date: October 1, 2003

Is it possible for a photographic portrait to reveal anything "real" about its subject? As part of a twelve-week residency at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art, acclaimed photographer Dawoud Bey asked this question of twelve teenagers from nearby schools. This fully illustrated book unpacks the process of Bey's ambitious residency and its products: a major exhibition pairing Bey's portraits of each student with audio portraits—included here on CD—created by award-winning radio producers Dan Collison and Elizabeth Meister, as well as an exhibition of portraits curated by the students themselves.

This review is from: Dawoud Bey: The Chicago Project (Paperback)

I bought this for someone special. She loves it and says: "This exhibition catalog is very insightful. You get to hear the artists' voices and learn how they faced many obstacles and challenges. There is no sugar-coating. This catalog was also the subject for a Graduate Level Museum Studies Course project, in which I got an A."
