Blair is also a writer, a professor at RISD, and a former associate editor of "Purple" magazine. A collection of Blair's writings, "Again: Selected Interviews and Essays" was recently published by WhiteWalls (Chicago, 2007). His work is in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Whitney Museum, New York; the Brooklyn Museum of Art; Chase Bank and many other public and private collections. Blair will visit the UNCG campus September 23-25, 2009 as part of the Falk Visiting Artist series, a program produced collaboratively since 1982 by the Weatherspoon and the Art Department at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
