Dan Perjovschi

I recently returned from a trip to Boston and New York to visit family, artists, and museums/galleries. While in New York, I popped into the MoMA (a bit too early for the Richard Serra show) where I saw the large wall-drawings that Dan Perjovischi installed in the main atrium. Perjovischi is a Romanian artist whose work is akin to bathroom stall scribblings but without the Metallica or Fall Out Boy logos and with more witty political references. The following videos document Perjovischi as his draws directly on MoMA’s walls to create his piece.

For more information on the exhibit including an interview between Curator Roxana Marcoci and Dan Perjovschi, visit MoMA.org.

On a side note, Perjovschi is representing Romania at the 2007 Venice Biennale. For those of us who aren’t able to make the trans-oceanic trek to Venice, the New York Times has provided an interactive map of the exhibits. Now, just crank up the heat in your office/home, add some pervasive dust, play a recording of loud international tourists at top volume and you can pretend that you’re really there.
