Dan Graham’s work questions the relationship between architecture and its psychological effects on us and remains as poignant today as it did in the 1970’s when Graham first explored issues such as "the performative," exhibitionism, reflection, mirroring and the mundane.
His work continues to investigate the voyeuristic act of seeing oneself reflected, while at the same time watching others. This overlay of experience creates a focused dual perception amid a changing environment and / or audience. His work highlights the awkwardness that occurs when intimate moments or details are rudimentarily broadcast in an impersonal manner.
Graham has described his pavilions as "producing a sense of uneasiness and psychological alienation through a constant play between feelings of inclusion and exclusion." Dan Graham lives and works in New York City. He is currently working on a new public pavilion for the City of London due for completion in September 2004.
