The artwork is a picture, an object and an architectonic form, but above all it is an event.

"Dan Graham's glass construction with its transparent, reflecting walls has been placed beside the main road that runs through the arm-like geographical formation of the Lofoten Islands. The sculpture seems to be present not primarily as something material, but rather as something that captures the light and the image of surrounding landscape. With its reflective, concave panorama wall, it creates a feast for the eye. We see simultaneously a landscape that could appear in any painting that takes the sublime landscape as its theme, but which in this unique moment is both present and depicted.
We are confronted with questions, states and positions that refer both to our way of observing the world around us and to our own position in it. We are inside an experience process whose pace and narrative we are able to regulate. This event is created by the sculpture and its filmically varying surroundings, but we are able to take part in its shifting play. We can choose our own role, our own position in the whole. The artwork is a picture, an object and an architectonic form, but above all it is an event."

About the artist:
"Daniel "Dan" Graham (born March 31, 1942) is an American artist, writer, and curator.
Graham grew up in New Jersey. In 1964 he began directing the John Daniels Gallery in New York, where he put on Sol LeWitt's first one-man show, and in groups shows, exhibited works of Donald Judd, Dan Flavin and Robert Smithson. Like these artists, Graham considered himself a writer-artist, publishing essays and reviews on rock music, Dwight D. Eisenhower's paintings, and Dean Martin's television show. His earliest work dealt with the magazine page, predating but often associated with Conceptual art. His work often focuses on cultural phenomena, and incorporates photography, video, performance art, glass and mirror structures. He lives and works in New York."
