{"product_id":"walid-raad","title":"Walid Raad","description":"Lebanese artist Walid Raad is one of the leading artists of his generation and an  influential voice in art from the Middle East. Published to accompany the first  comprehensive exhibition of his work in the United States, this catalogue surveys three  decades of Raad's unique practice in a variety of mediums - including photography,  video and performance - and examines the critical intersections that have defined the  notable career of this inventive artist.       Beginning with his groundbreaking project  The Altas Group  (1989-2004), to his  recent sweeping work on the history of art in the Arab world (2007-ongoing), the  publication offers an overview of Raad's career and features his most momentous  bodies of work. 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 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. A special 10 page contribution by Raad presents a fictional interview with  multiple artists, which provides rare insight into the artist's working method and  addresses various themes that run throughout his work.","brand":"The Museum of Modern Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664776138788,"sku":"9780870709739","price":76.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9780870709739.jpg?v=1774920936","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/walid-raad","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
