Though architecture is clearly not the sole focus of Dan Graham's
work, it is one of his themes of predilection, as much in his
photography as in his photography as in his installations and
writings. How does Dan Graham use architectural ideas and
functions, and in return, how can architectural thinking react to
his accusations and justifications? This volume attempts to
understand and evaluate his work from the perspective of modern and
contemporary architecture, the necessary meeting-point for the
basic questions he develops: urbanism, public/private space,
socio-political life, ideological critique, the role of language in
the visual-kinetic perception of the building (with ideas from the
Russian formalists, Bakhtin, Mevdev, Shlovsky), or the effects on
the constitution and transformation of the ego since the appearance
of glass as a construction material. This approach promises to shed
a clearer light on questions that belong not only to the separate
fields of art and architecture.
