Haseeb Ahmed
Assistant Professor
Haseeb Ahmed is an artist and educator whose work is often collaborative and draws from the hard sciences. Blending art and aeronautics, myth and technology, his practice develops new narrative frameworks for understanding environmental and planetary systems. Over the past decade, Ahmed has structured his research-based artistic practice around the fluid dynamics of wind and water, asking what can be learned about changing climates through the movements of fluids and what they carry, both physically and figuratively.
His responses take the form of drawings, sculptures, installations, and films. Ahmed’s work has been exhibited internationally at museums, biennials, and galleries, including the Gwangju Biennial (2024); a solo exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp; the Göteborg Biennial (Göteborg, SE); De Appel (Amsterdam, NL); Museum Bärengasse (Zurich, CH); The Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago, USA); Bozar Museum (Brussels, Belgium), and the Frestas Triennial (Frestas, BR), among others. Ahmed is represented by Harlan Levey Projects in Brussels.
Ahmed holds a PhD from the University of Antwerp, a Master of Science in Visual Studies from MIT, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
