Book Description
A facsimile of Graham's ultra-rare artist's book documenting early performance works Originally published in 1978 and produced here in facsimile form, Theatreis an artist's book documenting seven early performance works by Dan Graham (born 1942) taking place from 1969 to 1977, with notes, transcripts and photo documentation for each performance. These performances catch the artist at a unique moment, as he shifts away from his early media works and towards his hallmark video and written work around underground music and youth culture. The works in Theatrefocus primarily on the psychological and social space between individuals and the roles they serve inside the arena of performance, subverting them by creating conditions by which a performer or audience simultaneously functions as both (creating a type of feedback loop through social transgression). Like most of Graham's work, these performances also serve as a critique of cultural norms, with many of the performances utilizing quotidian, social acts that are amplified over time.

Book Description
Dan Graham's Rock My Religion (1982-84) is a video essay populated by punk and rock performers (Patti Smith, Jim Morrison, Black Flag and Glenn Branca) and historical figures (including Ann Lee, founder of the Shakers). This coming together of several narrative voice-overs, of singing and shouting voices, of jarring sounds and text overlaid onto shaky, gritty images, proposes a historical genealogy of rock music and an ambitious thesis on the origins of America. In this illustrated book, Kodwo Eshun examines this landmark work of contemporary moving image in relation to Graham's wider body of work and to the broader culture of the time, especially in relation to history, popular culture, and individual and communal identity.

Book Description
"Dan Graham, one of North America's most important contemporary artists, is best known today for his sculptural works and installations. His photographic works are generally not so well known, despite the fact that he first became famous for his photographic series Homes for America, pictures of typical American suburbia. To this day the theme of architecture and its surfaces in the context of postmodern everyday culture represents an extremely important facet of his work. This publication presents new photographs by Dan Graham together with original photographs from the Homes for America series. The new images exhibit stark similarities to the old pictures, as they were taken in the same locations, the same deserts of suburban streets and housing that Graham photographed in the sixties. Creating a fascinating, multilayered reference system of repetitions and differences, both spatially as well as temporally, it raises questions about architecture and public space and their function in society."--Publisher's description.

Book Description
Dan Graham began directing the John Daniels Gallery (New York) in 1964, where he put on Sol LeWitt's first one-man show. In the group shows he organised he exhibited the works of Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, and Robert Smithson.Like these artists, Graham considered himself a writer-artist. His earliest work dealt with the magazine page, and one of his seminal early works was a series of magazine-style photographs with text, Homes for America (1966-1967).Focusing on cultural phenomena, and incorporating photography, video, performance, glass and mirror structures, Dan Graham's practice has become a key part of the Conceptual art canon.This volume brings together texts written on various artists he admires, as well as interviews collected since the 1990s, most notably on his large-scale installations incorporating mirrors - a culmination of his long examination of the psychological relationship between people and architecture.This book is part of the Positions series, co-published with Les presses du réel and ECU Press, Vancouver.
