Born 1961 in Romania, based in Bucharest (Romania)

Recipient of the 2004 George Maciunas Award. Perjovschi's work has been exhibited widely, including solo projects for the Romania Pavilion (together with subREAL) at the 1999 Venice Biennale, Tate Modern, London (2006) and Museum of Modern Art, New York (2007), and in numerous biennales including Istanbul (2005), Venice (2007), Sydney (2008) and Lyon (2009). Known internationally for his massive wall drawings inspired by the world news stories splashed across the mass media from day to day, Dan Perjovschi is an artist who excels in taking a humor-laced, critical, cynical viewpoint of the inequalities he perceives in our globalized modern society. Having experienced his country's turbulent transition in the Romanian revolution of 1989, with the democratization following the overthrow of the Ceausescu dictatorship he was suddenly exposed to a wave of news and information from the west, including information on art. His practice, which asserts the importance of subjective art history alongside archival information in the form of news, papers, catalogs etc., questions a system previously taken for granted. More than just modern-day satirical cartoons, his works present in visual language requiring no explanation the fact that all of us contribute to issues of politics and authority such as the endless political conflicts taking place around the world; economic disparities, bargaining between communism and capitalism, globalism, weapons and money, and the art system.
