Summary:
Dan Graham (1942), one of the major neo avant-garde figures since the Second World War, is internationally recognized for his work in public spaces. Graham was invited to Como to take part in the centenary celebration of the birth of Giuseppe Terragni. For the occasion, he installed a pavilion entitled "Half square/half crazy" on the square in front of the Casa del Fascio. For Graham, the pavilion is a tool to critically fathom modern architecture. It is an instrument for studying the rapport between the interior (private) and exterior (public) environment as well as a way to examine the relationship of the individual to the urban scheme. His architectural structure moves from contemplative object to meeting point: a place of exchange and reflection. This volume presents an exhaustive documentation of the Como pavilion together with a selection of recent works by Dan Graham and two interviews with the artist. The dvd included records the course of the Como pavilion from its construction to inauguration.

Summary:
''Dan Graham, some rockin’'' is a compilation of fifteen interviews (two of them previously unpublished) between Dan Graham and artist friends, architects, musicians, art critics, and curators from various parts of our world. In these interviews Graham’s intense interest in and observation of cultural phenomena such as rock music, urbanism, architecture, corporate culture, and art world politics and their historical development overlaps and interferes with the articulated interest of the interviewers in Graham’s art, sense of humor, attitude, and point of view in regard of a huge variety of topics. Two essays, besides the ''Introduction,'' are added to this compilation: the essay ''The museum in evolution'' by Dan Graham, and an essay by the editor, Gregor Stemmrich, on the development and far reaching implications of Graham’s art.

Summary:
Dan Graham, one of North America’s most important contemporary artists, is best known today for his sculptural works and installations. His photographic works are generally not so well known, despite the fact that he first became famous for his photographic series Homes for America, pictures of typical American suburbia. To this day the theme of architecture and its surfaces in the context of postmodern everyday culture represents an extremely important facet of his work. This publication presents new photographs by Dan Graham together with original photographs from the Homes for America series. The new images exhibit stark similarities to the old pictures, as they were taken in the same locations, the same deserts of suburban streets and housing that Graham photographed in the sixties. Creating a fascinating, multilayered reference system of repetitions and differences, both spatially as well as temporally, it raises questions about architecture and public space and their function in society.

Artist Dan Graham and writer Jessica Russell's playful Architecture/Astrology considers some of the most important and innovative figures in the world of architecture from an angle few would expect: their star signs. Originally published as a column for Domus magazine, Graham and Russell's book integrates critical analysis with astrology and mythology to offer alternative perspectives on the work and personalities of artist/architects including Frank Gehry (a restless, dreamy Pisces), Frank Lloyd Wright (a romantic Gemini with one foot in the past and the other in the future), Eero Saarinen (a dynamic, dramatic Leo) and Le Corbusier (a logical, balanced Libra). With accompanying illustrations by Mieko Meguro.
