Shows at The Whitney

The Whitney Museum of Art will be hosting a Dan Graham retrospective (Dan Graham: Beyond) from June 24 to October 11. Some background on Dan Graham from the press release:

Graham (b. 1942) has been a central participant in the development of contemporary art since the 1960s — from the rise of minimalism, conceptual art, video art, and performance art, to explorations of architecture and the public sphere, to collaborations with musicians and the culture of rock and roll.

He has done projects involving The Kinks, Patti Smith, Sonic Youth, and many others.

During the exhibit, The Whitney will host a series of free concerts on Friday night. The shows, held in the museum’s Lower Gallery, are scheduled for July 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31th at 7pm. So far we know The Feelies (whoh worked with Graham) are playing an acoustic set on June 26 for the kick-off and Abe Vigoda will be there on July 17.
