Stadtgespräch. Artist Talk with Dan Perjovschi

Monday, November 10, 2014, 6 pm

The Romanian artist Dan Perjovschi works at the intersection between drawing, cartoons, and graffiti. His drawings comment on contemporary political and social relationships and are placed directly on the walls of museums, galleries, or public spaces. As a former caricaturist for a large daily newspaper in Bucharest, Perjovschi uses Facebook and print media to disseminate his daily political comments as part of his work as an artist. For the project Stadtkuratorin Hamburg, he has been invited to comment on current affairs in Europe twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In cooperation with the Hamburger Abendblatt.

Dan Perjovschi (born 1961 in Sibiu, Romania) lives and works in Bucharest and Sibiu. His work has been presented in Kunsthall Trondheim (2014); Kunsthalle Kiel (2014); Kunsthalle Kosice (2014);  Tanas Berlin (2013): MARTa Herford (2013); Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2012), Reykjavik Museum of Art, Reykjavik (2012); ParaSite Art Space, Hong Kong (2011); San Francisco Institute of the Arts, San Francisco (2010); Lyon Biennale (2009); MoMa, New York (2007); Venice Biennale (2007); Tate Modern, London (2006).
