Spanning 60 years, this publication surveys the art, editing and curating activities of London-based, Pakistani-born artist Rasheed Araeen (born 1935) for the first time, presenting an expansive artistic practice that has had a profound influence on generations of artists, writers and thinkers. Whether as a pioneer of Minimalist sculpture, a publisher of magazines at the forefront of postcolonial thinking like Third Text (founded 1987) or as an abstract painter drawing inspiration from the art of the Abbasid period, Araeen has consistently sought to realign the understanding of Modernism imposed by the hegemonic discourses of the West.
Bringing together newly commissioned essays by leading art critics and historians, documentation from the artist’s archive as well as an extensive survey of Araeen’s work, this publication offers the opportunity―long overdue―to assess Araeen’s impact as an artist and thinker.

Rasheed Araeen (né en 1935 à Karachi, Pakistan, vit et travaille à Londres) est un artiste, activiste, écrivain, éditeur et curateur. En 1964, il s'installe au Royaume-Uni, où il suit d'abord une formation d'ingénieur civil. Araeen est reconnu comme le père de la sculpture minimaliste britannique des années 1960, mais sa pratique englobe également la performance, la photographie et la peinture. Tout au long des années 1970 à 1990, l'artiste défie l'eurocentrisme de l'establishment artistique britannique et défend le rôle des artistes issus des minorités, en particulier ceux originaires d'Asie, d'Afrique et des Caraïbes. Rasheed Araeen devient également un activiste politique au sein d'organisations comme les Black Panthers et Artists for Democracy, et fonde les revues critiques Black Phoenix, Third Text et Third Text Asia. En 1989, il organise l'exposition phare « The Other Story: Afro-Asian Artists in Post-War Britain » au Southbank Centre à Londres.
