Dan Graham: Beyond

It's Valentine's Day and I'm attending another legendary opening party at MOCA. This time it's Dan Graham: Beyond. The work of Dan Graham has been central to the development of art since the 1960s—from the rise of minimalism, conceptualism, and video and performance art to explorations of architecture and the culture of rock and roll. I was patiently standing in line to enter one of the mirror and glass structures when two men just walked in ahead of me. I turned to the guard and inquired as to why I was waiting. Who did that man think he was? The artist? So I stopped waiting my turn and stepped-in to join Dan.
