Dan Graham (1942-2022) was an American post-conceptual artist whose work consisted of performance art, installations, video, sculpture, and photography. Very much in the moment, Graham’s work was designed to incite and evoke a relationship between the viewer and an object that challenged in a thoughtful yet playful way a desire to reconsider time, space, and surfaces. Beginning in the late 1960s and into the late 1970s, Graham created largely performance-based pieces incorporating film and the new medium of video for systematic investigations of cybernetics, phenomenology and embodiment. This early filmic work consisted of perceptual, kinetic exercises, that often featured the interaction of a camera with an object or viewer.
