Last year the Whitney celebrated the career of iconoclastic, influential artist Dan Graham with a superb career retrospective that we called “a comprehensive survey that includes film and video, photographs, writings, a sound piece, and Graham’s complex architectural installations that play with perception and reality. Graham was an early conceptualist involved in performance art, examining mechanical reproduction and suburban repetition while expanding the relationship between artist and viewer.” Graham will be making a very special appearance at the Cooper Union tonight, discussing the intersection of art and architecture in his wide-ranging work. Graham is a quirky, quixotic speaker who can get very excited about his topics, so this should be a fascinating, unique event, even better because it’s free.
