Samenvatting:

Since the mid-1960s, Dan Graham (Urbana, Illinois, 1942) has produced an important body of art and theory that engages in a highly analytical discourse on the historical, social and ideological functions of contemporary cultural systems. He is a highly influential figure in the field of contemporary art, both as a practitioner of conceptual art and as a well-versed art critic and theorist. Graham's work questions the relationship between people and architecture and the psychological effects it has on us. His work highlights the awkwardness that occurs when intimate moments or details are rudimentarily broadcast in an impersonal manner, as he continues to investigate the voyeuristic act of seeing oneself reflected, whilst at the same time watching others.
This monograph analyzes his main works and collects most of the seminal writings by the artist.
