Dan Graham, whose diverse oeuvre has shaped and pushed the boundaries of conceptual art for more than four decades, has been creating quasi-architectural structures for parks, museums, and other public and private spaces internationally since the 1970s. Neither sculpture nor architecture, Graham’s pavilions is made of two-way reflective glass. Inside and outside, one’s image merges with the reflections of other people, as well as the shifting skyscape and landscape. Graham’s environments create and explore the notion of “intersubjectivity,” as experienced by both the perceiver and the perceived.

Dan Graham was born in 1942 in Urbana, Illinois, and lives and works in New York.
