Dan Graham

Dan Graham (1942–2022) was an American conceptual artist whose pavilions, performance videos, and critical writings addressed the intersection of media, architecture, corporate culture, and social space. Beginning in the 1960s with text-based works submitted to art magazines, including Homes for America (1966), Graham worked across many media while maintaining a consistent conceptual focus.

His video and performance work, including Present Continuous Past(s) (1974), engaged with systems of perception and surveillance, positioning the viewer as simultaneously observer and observed.
