Dan Graham’s explicitly political work draws on many architectural sources, among them suburban tract housing, corporate oYce buildings, rococo and baroque pavilions, Laugier’s primitive hut, Victorian park gazebos and contemporary bus shelters. Through texts and a thirty-year survey of projects, this publication presents a diverse body of work situated on the divide between art and architecture, popular art and high art.

For his Artist's Choice Graham has selected an extract from the science fiction novel Ubik by American Philip K. Dick (1928-82), widely held to be one of the greatest science fiction novelists of the twentieth century. Ubik is considered one of his finest novels, where philosophical and existential questions of human life and ethics are played out by half-human, half-robotic characters. Dan Graham is well known for his prolific writings, which he views as part of his art practice. Highly influential, Graham's essays have been described by American critic Donald Kuspit as 'milestones in the study of the postmodern fusion of everyday culture and esoteric art into academic spectacle.' Graham was born in Urbana, Illinois in 1942 and lives and works in New York.
