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.
In No Good Deed: Book One in the Mark Taylor Series, Mark Taylor
discovers first hand that no good deed goes unpunished when the old
camera he found during a freelance job in an Afghanistan bazaar
gives him more than great photos. It triggers dreams of disasters.
Tragedies that happen exactly as he envisions them. He learns that
not only can he see the future, he can change it. In Deeds of
Mercy: Book Three, an unexpected visitor from Mark's past brings
him unwanted attention from the authorities. Unable to decide who
is friend and who is foe, Mark becomes a fugitive from the law, but
with thousands of lives at stake, he is forced to put aside his
fear of capture, and instead, seek help from his pursuers.
The story of Mark Taylor begins with "No Good Deed: Book One in the
Mark Taylor Series." Mark's journey continues as he travels a dark
road in March Into Hell: Book Two in the Mark Taylor Series. Mark
Taylor discovers first hand that no good deed goes unpunished when
the old camera he found in an Afghanistan bazaar gives him more
than great photos. It triggers dreams of disasters. Tragedies that
happen exactly as he envisions them. He learns that not only can he
see the future, he can change it. Mark Taylor discovers first hand

tested by the force behind the camera's prophetic magic. Battling
his own self-doubt, he must maintain the secret or risk certain
death.
