Produced in facsimile from the original 1978 artist book, ‘Dan Graham: Theatre’ comprises notes, transcripts, and photographs documenting seven early works the artist performed between 1969 and 1977. Published by Primary Information, the volume features key performances that critique cultural norms, often through quotidian, social acts amplified over time. In effect, these works interrogate or undermine the psychological and social space created by, or between, individuals inside the performance venue.⁠ ⁠ Head to the link in our bio for more information and to purchase. ⁠ ⁠ #DanGraham #Theatre primaryinfo ⁠ ⁠ Image: ‘Performer / Audience / Mirror,’ 1975
