Walid Raad is an internationally prominent artist 
whose mixed-media installations, videos, photographs, 
performances, and literary essays explore the experiences 
and representations of war and the contemporary history 
of Lebanon. He is well-known for The Atlas Group, a 
fifteen-year project that enlists a fictional universe to 
explore some of the social, cultural, political, and 
psychological effects of the Lebanese wars of 1975 to 
1991. 

Born in Lebanon, Raad moved from Beirut to Boston 
as a teenager, and now lives in New York. His formative
years were those of the Lebanese wars, which he describes 
as events that have "conditioned who I am, how I feel,
think, and move in the world."  His work has been presented
in numerous museums and other institutions in North America, 
Europe, and the Middle East including the Museo Tamayo, 
Mexico City, in 2007, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, and The 
Kitchen, New York, in 2006, Venice Biennale in 2003, 
Documenta 11, Kassel, Germany, in 2002. Raad is an Associate
Professor of Art at The Cooper Union, and a member of 
the Arab Image Foundation, Beirut/New York, www.fai.org.lb.
