Dan Graham
B.C. Binning and Alvin Balkind Galleries
American artist Dan Graham is one of the most important contemporary visual artists practicing today. His work over the past four decades is widely recognized for its lead in the advent of conceptualism as an art movement. His work was also instrumental in the development of Vancouver based photo-conceptualism, and his long involvement and friendship with a number of locally based artists has been of enormous influence. While his work is featured in collections around the city, Graham has, surprisingly, never been afforded a solo show in Vancouver. This exhibition will provide the opportunity to view a selective survey of the artist's works over the past thirty years and assess the significant effect Graham’s practice has had on the local community.
