Dan Graham 丹．格雷姆
Classic and Recent 展示廳：經典與現在
2009
Spanning a thirty-four-year period, this video work documents ten installations by the artist Dan Graham. The quasi-architectural works occupy a range of spaces, including museums and galleries as well as public parks and corporate sites, and are united by the artist’s long-running interest in architecture as a mediator of perception and social experience. Using industrial materials like aluminium and steel frames, transparent and mirrored glass, and perforated metal panels to outline box-like or curvilinear spaces, the simultaneous transparency and reflectivity of Graham’s geometric structures confuse the relationship between interior and exterior. In doing so, they draw visitors’ attention to the way their own bodies occupy and relate to architectural space—and how multiple bodies in a space can generate different kinds of social dynamics.
