Dan Perjovschi. Born in Sibiu (RO), in 1961. Living and working in Bucharest. He graduated from the Enescu Art University in Iasi. During his education, he started to work on drawings, premising his work on the surrounding reality, the university atmosphere. This interest in daily life, and the mechanisms of power is still the basis of his work nowadays.
Ever since his first exhibition in this same gallery (2007), Dan Perjovschi has obtained a growing recognition, both in Spain and abroad. This media attention has changed neither the form nor the spirit of his work, which maintains the same lucidity and irony in its gaze, both towards current events and towards the art world, especially its internal mechanisms of exhibition and assessment of the works.
Dan Perjovschi has had exhibitions at Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castellón; Institute for Contemporary Culture, ROM Toronto; San Francisco Institute of the Arts, San Francisco, U.S.A.; Spencer Museum, Kansas University, USA; Castello di Rivoli, Turin, Italy. He has taken part in the Biennials of Istanbul and Seville, and has produced projects at the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, the Tate Gallery Modern in London, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and at MOMA, New York.
