CONTEMPORARY ARTS MUSEUM HOUSTON PRESENTS CLASS PICTURES: PHOTOGRAPHS BY DAWOUD BEY
HOUSTON, Texas (Thursday, February 21, 2008) – From March 14 to May 11, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston will present the 160th installment in its Perspectives series, Class Pictures: Photographs by Dawoud Bey. Organized by the Aperture Foundation, a not-for-profit organization devoted to photography and the visual arts, Class Pictures is comprised of large-scale portraits of American teenagers that refute false stereotypes and reveal the individual strengths of this age group.
“The powerful images of Dawoud Bey display the personalities of young adults that could not be more different from the depictions of teenagers we’re accustomed to seeing in the media,” said Contemporary Arts Museum Houston Curator Valerie Cassel Oliver. “These photographs reveal the depth of character and vulnerability that exist in real-life teenagers from our own families and communities.”
