DAN GRAHAM (NE EN 1942)
Biography: Graham
(b Urbana, IL, 31 Mar 1942). American performance artist, video artist and writer. He founded the Daniels Gallery in New York and was director of it from 1964 to 1965; there he came into contact with Minimalist artists such as Carl André, Sol LeWitt and Donald Judd. This led him to question the gallery structure and the art displayed and to experiment with conceptual art. From 1965 to 1969 he produced a series of works published in magazines, such as Schema (1966; Brussels, Daled priv. col., see 1988 exh. cat., p. 9). This series consisted merely of a descriptive list of its own contents, including the number of words, and so referred to nothing beyond itself, unlike Minimalist art that he believed referred to the surrounding display space. Furthermore, the magazine was, unlike a gallery, clearly related to time and change through its regular appearance and topicality.
