Since the 1960s, Dan Graham has been a seminal figure within the world of contemporary art. Exploring the dynamics that find themselves at the intersection of art, architecture, pop culture, social spaces and social engagement, his succinct and paired down aesthetic allows our attention to focus on the experiences and ideas that develop as we interact with his work and thus become integral to it.
Through essays, videos, performance, photography, curatorial projects and his now iconic pavilion installations, Dan Graham’s work has inspired generations of artists and his influence is felt well beyond the boundaries of visual arts.
