Vintage Dan Graham: Projects for Publication 1966 – 2009
Dan Graham
Curated by David Platzker
The Charles H. Scott Gallery is pleased to present the work of legendary New York conceptual artist Dan Graham. Vintage Dan Graham: Projects for Publication 1966-2009 presents both artwork specifically created by Graham for periodicals and other publications and Graham’s own writings on sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, art, and architecture first seen in print between 1966 and 2009.
Dan Graham produces artworks and theoretical texts that investigate cultural ideologies and systems. His interests range from suburbia and public architecture to punk music and popular culture. He is one of the most influential artists working today and his practice has had an impact on the work of many Vancouver artists.
