Published to accompany a comprehensive exhibition of his work at MoMA, this catalogue surveys three decades of Walid Raad's practice in a variety of mediums. It features his most momentous bodies of work, beginning with his groundbreaking project The Atlas Group (1989-2004), to his recent sweeping work on the history of art in the Arab world (2007-ongoing). Essays by curators and scholars place Raad's art in the context of contemporary image making in photography and video, as well as art made in his native Lebanon since the 1960s; provide an overview of Raad's performance lectures in relationship to his oeuvre; and examine Raad's most recent bodies of work made in the Islamic galleries at the Louvre and Metropolitan Museum of Art, which explores the history, collecting, and display of historical and modern art and artifacts from the Arab world and Iran.
