His oeuvre is wide-ranging: as a gallerist, critic, curator, and artist, he has enduringly shaped the discourse of contemporary architecture, art, and music.
The exhibition looks specifically at his interest in architecture and urban planning, and explores his significance for architectural theory. His writings, like Homes for America, are considered required reading in the theory of architecture and take the polemical position that the actual city of the 21st century will be found in the suburbs.
His most recent works include the Roof Garden at New York’s Metropolitan Museum, created in cooperation with landscape architect Gunther Vogt, a professor at ETH Zurich. In the exhibition at ETH Zurich, Graham and Vogt’s collaboration is explored in a site-specific presentation. Additionally, models of Graham’s unrealized architectural projects are shown and Graham’s videos on phenomena of architecture are presented in staged interiors that recall single family homes from the suburbs.
An artist’s book by Dan Graham is being published to accompany the exhibition.
