Bey has also found inspiration in the past, and in two recent series, presented together here for the first time, he addresses African American history explicitly, with renderings both lyrical and immediate. In 2012 Bey created \u003ci\u003eThe Birmingham Project\u003c\/i\u003e, a series of paired portraits memorializing the six children who were victims of the Ku Klux Klan's bombing of Birmingham, Alabama's 16th Street Baptist Church, a site of mass civil rights meetings, and the violent aftermath. \u003ci\u003eNight Coming Tenderly, Black\u003c\/i\u003e is a group of large-scale black-and-white landscapes made in 2017 in Ohio that reimagine sites where the Underground Railroad once operated. The book is introduced by an essay exploring the series' place within Bey's wider body of work, as well as their relationships to the past, the present, and each other. Additional essays investigate the works' evocations of race, history, time, and place, addressing the particularities of and resonances between two series of photographs that powerfully reimagine the past into the present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSan Francisco Museum of Modern Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (February 15-October 12, 2020) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh Museum of Art, Atlanta\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (November 7, 2020-March 14, 2021) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhitney Museum of American Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (April 16-October 3, 2021)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Corey Keller, Elisabeth Sherman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300248504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300248500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 10.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020 pg. 115","brand":"Corey Keller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993943933183,"sku":"9780300248500","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4cbf25de-bdc0-4d5a-8273-d7219eb62975.jpg?v=1683327202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dawoud-bey-corey-keller-9780300248500","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
