ABOUT DAWOUD'S WORK
Dawoud Bey is a photographer and educator whose portraits of people, many from marginalized communities, compel viewers to consider the reality of the subjects' own social presence and histories. Through his expansive approach to photography—which includes deep engagement with his subjects and museum-based projects—Bey is making institutional spaces more accessible to the communities in which they are situated.

During a residency in 1992 at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Andover, Bey embarked on what would become an ongoing series of portraits of high school students. He made his artistic practice more public and accessible, involving the students in shaping their own representations and working in a semi-public studio. The resultant large-scale, multiple-image works are powerful expressions of the youthful subjects' respective individualities, still in the throes of being formed and negotiated. Bey expanded on this project in Class Pictures (2002–2006), a body of work produced in collaboration with young people and institutions throughout the United States. In addition to playing a role in the construction of their psychologically rich portraits, the students provided written texts about themselves to accompany Bey's photographs of them, creating another layer of evocative self-definition. The exhibitions, public programming, and educational outreach Bey conceived as components of Class Pictures turned the museum into a vehicle for creating a closer relationship between institutions, youth, and the communities they inhabit.

More recently, Bey has focused on the construction of collective history and memory. In The Birmingham Project (2013), he commemorates the lives of six children killed in the 1963 bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church and its aftermath in Birmingham, Alabama, through a series of portraits of Birmingham residents whose ages correspond either to the ages of the children in 1963 or to how old they would have been fifty years later in 2013. In another recent project, Harlem Redux (2014–2017), Bey returns to the site of his first project, Harlem, U.S.A. (1975–1979), but in this instance he focuses on the urban landscape and its transformation spurred by gentrification. Through his own work and long-time commitment to educating and mentoring young artists, Bey is redefining the role of photography and portraiture as active agents in the examination and formation of communities.

BIOGRAPHY
Dawoud Bey received a B.F.A. (1990) from Empire State College of the State University of New York and an M.F.A. (1993) from Yale University. His work has been included in solo and group exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Walker Art Center, the National Portrait Gallery (London), and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among many others. In 1998, he joined the faculty of Columbia College Chicago, where he is currently a professor in the Department of Photography and a former Distinguished College Artist.

关于Dawoud的作品
Dawoud Bey是一位摄影师和教育家，他拍摄的人物肖像，许多来自边缘化社区，迫使观众考虑主体自身的社会存在和历史的现实。通过他广泛的摄影方法--包括与他的拍摄对象和基于博物馆的项目的深入接触--贝正在使机构空间更容易被它们所在的社区所接受。

1992年，在菲利普斯-安多弗的艾迪生美国艺术馆居住期间，Bey开始了后来持续的高中生肖像系列。他使他的艺术实践更加公开和容易接近，让学生们参与塑造他们自己的表现，并在一个半公开的工作室工作。由此产生的大规模、多图像作品有力地表达了年轻主体各自的个性，仍然处于形成和协商的阵痛之中。贝在《班级图片》（2002-2006）中扩展了这个项目，这是一个与美国各地的年轻人和机构合作制作的作品。除了在构建他们丰富的心理画像中发挥作用外，学生们还提供了关于他们自己的书面文字，以配合贝的照片，创造了另一个令人回味的自我定义的层次。作为《班级图片》的组成部分，贝氏构思的展览、公共项目和教育推广将博物馆变成了一个工具，在机构、青年和他们居住的社区之间建立起更紧密的关系。

最近，Bey专注于集体历史和记忆的构建。在《伯明翰计划》（2013年）中，他通过一系列伯明翰居民的肖像，纪念在1963年阿拉巴马州伯明翰市第十六街浸信会教堂爆炸案及其后果中遇难的六名儿童，这些肖像的年龄要么与1963年儿童的年龄一致，要么与50年后的2013年的年龄一致。在另一个最近的项目中，哈林区重现（2014-2017），Bey回到了他第一个项目的地点，美国哈林区（1975-1979），但在这个例子中，他专注于城市景观和它由绅士化刺激的转变。通过他自己的工作和对教育和指导年轻艺术家的长期承诺，Bey正在重新定义摄影和肖像的作用，作为检查和形成社区的积极因素。

个人简历
Dawoud Bey获得了纽约州立大学帝国学院的艺术学士学位（1990年）和耶鲁大学的艺术硕士学位（1993年）。他的作品曾在大都会艺术博物馆、芝加哥艺术学院、哈莱姆工作室博物馆、沃克艺术中心、国家肖像馆（伦敦）和惠特尼美国艺术博物馆等举办的个人和团体展览中展出。1998年，他加入了芝加哥哥伦比亚学院的教师队伍，目前他是该学院摄影系的教授，也是前杰出学院艺术家。
