States of Mind: Dan and Lia Perjovschi

The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke presents a mid-career retrospective of the work of Romanian artists Dan Perjovschi and Lia Perjovschi. Born in 1961 and educated in the Romanian socialism system, Dan & Lia Perjovschi create work that resides at the nexus of art, society and politics; both artists belong to the first avant-garde movement following the 1989 Romania Revolution. Dan is internationally renowned for large and small scale drawing installations of hundreds of cartoon-like figures that comment on local, national and international cultural and current affairs. He is also the foremost political cartoon satirist in Romania. Lia is well known for her performance and conceptual art. This unprecedented exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, videos, installations and conceptual art from 1986 to the present, as well as new commissioned works. The show follows a recent installation of Dan Perjovschi's drawings in the "Projects" section of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The show runs from August 22nd, 2007- January 8th, 2008
Music for the video was graciously provided by: Benjamin Dauer, & Edmund II

This was a phenomenal exhibit and I am glad to have the opportunity to hear these artists speak - even though their work speaks VERY loudly.
