Last Night: Dan Graham at Marian Goodman

Staff   03/04/2009 09:55 AM

Last night, Dan Graham showed his schizophrenic reflective glass pavilions at Marian Goodman for the first time since 2000. The show featured six of Graham’s most recent pavilions, including the latest Crazy Spheroid: Two Entrances 2009, as well as the stage set the artist made for Japanther during Performa ’07. It was the firt time many of them had been hosted inside, or in daylight; the piece for Japanther we'd only seen before in a cramped church in the East Village, surrounded by drunk teenagers.

The exhibition marks the first in a flurry of Graham-related activity, who is part of a California school that's typically ignored by the East Coast establishment. He'd be the first to tell you about it, and will do so this week on Art in America online. In June, Graham's retrospective moves t0 the Whitney (it's still on view at MoCA through May 25). Graham was at Marian Goodman to host, with fellow Conceptualists was there to host, with Lawrence Weiner and Nic Guagnini. Guagnini talked gallery lighting, while Weiner plotted his escape from the Armory. For more art coverage (including your guide into the Armory), check ot Art in America's new web site. Today AIA's Sarah Hromack interviews with Jeremy Deller, whose "America" is on view at the New Museum.

Dan Graham is on view at Marian Goodman through March 28. The gallery is located at 24 West 57th Street, New York.
