A collection of Dan Graham's interviews and conversations with a wide array of individuals from various backgrounds and disciplines.

Dan Graham: Some Rockin’ is a compilation of fifteen interviews (two of them previously unpublished) between Dan Graham and artist friends, architects, musicians, art critics, and curators from various parts of our world.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.

Praise for Some Rockin

"Whether he was arguing, in an early piece of criticism, that Dean Martin’s television variety show was more self aware than it looked; or helping to turn Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon from an art student into a musician by drafting her into a performance piece called 'All-Girl Band: Identification Projection'; or standing between a mirrored wall and a seated audience, lecturing them about what they were looking at, Mr. Graham always aimed to unsettle."The New York Times

"one of the most influential artists to emerge from the 1960s"—ArtForum


"Dan Graham was a radical who changed the contract between art and its viewer."Frieze
