Yale University Residency Project: Untitled, 1999. Dawoud Bey (American, b. 1953). 3 Polaroids; The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of Carl and Joan Schneider 2018.311 Bringing the massive Polaroid 20 x 24 camera into museums, colleges and schools for extended periods, Dawoud Bey made portraits on site of visitors, students, and staff. This demystified the art-making process for the participants while turning museums into places where art was not just displayed but also created. Bey saw contemporary painters making multiple-panel paintings and thought, why not apply this to a photo sitting?
