Walid Raad
Professor
In part, an artist and a Professor of Art in The still-charging-tuition Cooper Union. [And the school should stop doing so now before yet more debt burdens more students who are not the ones who mismanaged the school’s finances; its Board of Trustees and administrators did so for decades (check out the lawsuit against the Board.)] The list of exhibitions (good, bad and mediocre ones); awards and grants (merited, not merited, grateful for, rejected and/or returned); education (some of it thought-provoking; some of it, less so); publications (I am fond of some of my books, but more so of the books of Jalal Toufic), can be found somewhere online.
Raad received a BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology, and an MA and PhD from University of Rochester.
