Walid Raad, born in 1967 in Chbanieh, Lebanon, is one of the leading artists of his generation. As a participant in documenta 11<\/em> and 13<\/em> as well as numerous other exhibitions, including in Zurich, Paris, London, Naples and Berlin, he has also become known to a wider audience in Europe in recent years. After numerous international awards, he has now been unanimously awarded the Aachen Art Prize 2018 by the jury. Walid Raad currently lives and works in New York. In his multi-layered and medially wide-ranging oeuvre of photographs, videos, installations, sculptures, and performances, Walid Raad explores various themes: history and historicity, individual and collective memory, the effects of violence on the mind, body, tradition, and art, facticity and its mediation, photography, and the question of the document. Walid Raad’s oeuvre consists essentially of three major bodies of work: The Atlas Group<\/em> (1989-2004), Scratching on things I could disavow<\/em> (2007-present), and Sweet Talk: Commissions<\/em> (1987-present).<\/p>

The Atlas Group<\/em> consists of an artistic archive of notebooks, films, videos, and photographs that focus on the events surrounding the wars in his native Lebanon, which Raad left in 1983. Raad has created a series of documents that explore the possibilities, as well as the limitations, of writing, documenting, and remembering the history of events of extreme violence. His archive includes both imagined and historical people, situations, and artifacts.<\/p>

Scratching on things I could disavow<\/em> consists of a series of sculptures, photographs, installations, videos, and performances dedicated to the emergence of new histories, economies, institutions, and collections around “Arab art.” Raad takes as his starting point the emergence of major new museums in Abu Dhabi, Doha, Beirut, and elsewhere in the Middle East to explore how artworks have been affected materially, as well as immaterially, by the wars that have ravaged the region in recent decades.<\/p>

Sweet Talk: Assignments<\/em>, was Raad’s longest art project. It consists of thousands of photographs that Raad has produced in Beirut since 1987. Following other extensive documentaries such as Walker Evans in the U.S., Bernd and Hilla Becher in Germany, and Jean Eug\u00e8ne Auguste Atget in Paris, Raad’s work follows Beirut’s ever-changing landscape during the hot and cold wars.<\/p>

The artistic roots of Walid Raad’s art projects are linked to Western conceptual art and post-conceptual practices such as those of Hannah H\u00f6ch, Hans Haacke, Sherrie Levine, Joseph Beuys and others. His performance works play an important role in the emergence of the lecture-performance genre.<\/p>

The jury’s statement:
“In Walid Raad, the jury honors an artist whose practice stands for a significant expansion of the canon of art beyond Europe and the United States. The artist’s multi-year project entitled The Atlas Group<\/em> not only directed attention to the tangled history of the Middle East, but also posed important questions about the relationship between fact and fiction in historical narratives. Walid Raad’s works are equally convincing due to their aesthetic precision and their high density of conceptual references, which is why the jury has found in him an excellent personality for this year’s Aachen Art Award.”<\/p>
