On display in the Zilkha Gallery of the museum: Perspectives 160: Dawoud Bey

Since 1992, Chicago-based photographer Dawoud Bey has been working exclusively on large-scale portraits of American teenagers. These photographs reveal the individual character of members of this age group. In his recent work Bey, made in high schools around the country, Bey has included texts that the subjects have written about themsleves. For Bey, the creation and presentation of these portraits and texts allows for a more complex and nuanced representation than the photographic portrait alone. Perspectives 160: Dawoud Bey marks the artist’s debut at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, where Bey will collaborate with the Museum’s Teen Council.

Dj Irene @ Richs

So what? Another girl DJ. Not in this case. She doesnt go topless, doesnt smile coquettishly or seductively for the camera, she didnt just start mixing 3-5 yrs. ago when it became cool.

With her signature laugh she has lived a fearless life, daring all who challenged her to step up. Yeah great, there are lots of girl DJs, so what?
