While this connection is made clear in the
text that
accompanies much of the work, it is most apparent visually in two diptychs: the photograph Landscape of the Body (Epilepsy Test)(2011) and the video Self -
Portrait (United States Steel)(2010).
Notable exhibitions at the Chelsea gallery, all
accompanied by publications, included Richard Serra: Prop Sculptures 1969 - 1987; Bruce Nauman: Neons, Sculptures Drawing, with an essay by Robert Storr; Alexander Calder: A Modern Definition of Space, featuring an interview with Alexander S.C. Rower of the Calder Foundation; Donald Judd Single Stacks, curated by Peter Ballantine with a catalogue essay by Richard Schiff; Ellsworth Kelly; Andy Warhol Dollar Signs, with a
text by Trevor Fairbrother; Andy Warhol Self -
Portraits, with an essay by Vincent Fremont; and Jean - Michel Basquiat Works on Paper, with contributions by Richard Marshall and Johnny Depp.
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.
