The exhibition hosted by the Fundació Antoni Tàpies conveys the diversity of media with which Graham has worked since the sixties. The exhibition brings together a selection of his photographic, film and video work and his research into architecture and town planning through installations and models for buildings.
Dan Graham (along the lines of Vito Acconci, Gordon Matta Clark, Bruce Nauman, Steve Reich and Robert Smithson) explores a range of territories, combining different parameters connected to the real world and the sphere of art. Rejecting the primordial purpose of supports, he begins a new way of approaching artistic activity. In the sixties, his search for different criteria for modifying perception led him to focus his attention on video. Graham uses the closed circuit system, in which the spectator is actively involved and introduces him or herself into the work as a vital element in its production. That idea, which has been a constant throughout his career, was in evidence in the exhibition.
