Dan Perjovschi Unframed

At the Kiasma Museum, Romaninan artist Dan Perjovschi transformed into drawing installations his observations on media, politics, art and the everyday routines.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma is presenting Unframed, a work by Dan Perjovschi where observations on media, politics, the art world and everyday routines made on the road are transformed into drawing installations. The roots of Perjovschi’s political art are in the social changes in his homeland in recent decades. After the collapse of Nicolae Ceauçescu’s dictatorship at the turn of the 1990s, Perjovschi, a painter at the time, began to draw political cartoons for weekly magazines.

Over the years, Perjovschi has built up a veritable archive of motifs that he recycles from one exhibition to the next. Among them he inserts pictures that comment on topical events and the venue in question. Consisting of over 300 framed drawings, Repertoire – A Five Year Plan (2006–2010) is now on exhibit for the first time. It is a document of Perjovschi’s earlier installations. He sent five drawings from each of his exhibitions to Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands.
