Abstract

This Research Project proposes the study of the american artist Dan Graham, focusing the strait relation that he maintained with the city and the architecture throughout his carrier.Since their early works/articles published in magazines - whereupon he covered topics such as the circuit of art and the state of the artists and the city - Graham laid the principal questions that will guide his works, defined by a very clear positioning within the artistic debate since the 1960´s until today. His inquietudes about the devices and concerns that determines production and consumption of art is reflected in his artistic research about the contemporary cultural system, leading him to the investigations of the subjectivity implicity in the relation between object and spectator, in the own subjectivity of the public and, finally, in the relation of it´s sibjectivity with the place where the public is.Through his performers and instalations, his lates steel and glass pavilions and through his extensive wiritings the artist dealt with different contents from the History, the Sociolog, the Psicology and also the Architecture to investigate the condition of the art, the culture and the spatiality in the contemporary society. His pratice represents a critic reflection about the social or cultural structures operant in a reality and in specific spacial contexts, whether inside or outside the gallery.Dan Graham offers, therefore, a very peculiar perspective on the ways and means that constitute the contemporary city, allowing questioning the architecture and the urbanism always throughout a prisme defined by his aesthetic pratice. His proposes lead us to the problematization of the social and cultural nature of the spaces, inquiring both the relation that the spaces stablish with the public/user and the own concepts or interests that produces them.
