ART Dan Graham An art-world rebel with a cause Conceptual artist, writer, and cultural theorist Dan Graham started out as a New York gallerist in the mid-'60s, showing emerging artists Sol Lewitt, Dan Flavin, and Donald Judd. Disillusioned with the business, Graham transformed into an artist and rebelled against the gallery system. He leapt across genres. Graham photographed suburban row houses in Staten Island and New Jersey to document "Homes for America" (1966), then went on to create seminal performance pieces, installations, and videos. He discovered the roots of rock. Tracing the religious practice of rocking and reeling back to the Puritans, Shakers, and early evangelicals, Graham connected religious fervor to the mosh pit in his phenomenal 1984 video Rock My Religion. Graham's work reflects his audience. Since the late '70s, Graham has built glass-and-mirror installations and pavilions, positioning the viewer as a reflection of each unique site. View Graham's gallery page, watch Rock My Religion, read an interview, and check out his traveling retrospective and catalogue. – Paul Laster
