- The legendary artist Dan Graham doesn’t see himself as a conceptual artist. ”I hate conceptual art. I don’t believe in it. It’s bullshit”
”I situate my work as a hybrid between literature, philosophy and dance...halfway between art and design”
Dan Graham talks about his art, and what he is exploring and investigating as an artist.
The artwork in this video is Dan Graham’s site-specific installation atop The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden comprising curves of steel and two-way mirrored glass between ivy hedgerows. The pavilion responding to it’s specific site, reflecting the modernist skyscraper facades, the idyllic Central Park and the viewers engaging with the piece.
The piece was on view April 29th through November 2nd 2014

so i see these people smallish coz im looking at a computer screen. drawing on my memories of NYC, and of Americans in general, it appears that these people are reserved and their posture shows a kind of preparedness, ready to react, what i suppose would be typical of living in a place where one is constantly around people in public, and where one is necessarily cautious because one never knows how the other people or person may react. no one is dancing or playing before the mirrored images, no one is in a "fun house," all are pretty solemn and contemplative as perhaps befits a museum experience and then coming out to this beautiful view, where buildings tower over a lovely slice of nature (thank you FLO!). and Dan Graham continues his narrative overlay, and sometimes the camera goes to him, and then i read the other comments and think okey i will comment too so i did
