Since 1989, he has also taught three-dimensional design, sculpture, public art, and theory seminars at The Cooper Union. Ashford's most recent public effort is documented in the book Who Cares, (Creative Time, 2006), through a series of conversations between the artists and and other cultural practitioners.
