Dan Graham is among the most influential of the Conceptual artists who emerged in America during the mid 1960s. A pioneer in performance and video art in the 1970s, Graham later turned his attention to architectural projects designed for social interaction in public spaces, among them The Children s Pavilion (1989) with Jeff Wall. Writing has always been a major aspect of Graham s work. His texts range from early Conceptual art pieces inserted in mass-market magazines, to writing on his fellow artists, to analyses of popular culture from Dean Martin to the post-Punk era. Well-known also among architects and urban theorists, during the 1990s Graham has been offered major public commissions throughout North America and Europe.

London-based curator Mark Francis discusses with the artist how his public participation-based work has evolved. Brussels-based critic Birgit Pelzer draws on her extensive knowledge of Graham s work and writings. New York-based architectural theorist Beatriz Colomina focuses on Graham s Alteration to a Suburban House (1978). The artist has chosen an extract from the science fiction novel `Ubik` by Philip K Dick, whose writings were a formative influence. A substantial Artist s Writings section, key to understanding Dan Graham, completes the book.
