From the Balkans to Latin America and from there to Central Europe: Dan Perjovschi, the international art personality, intervenes in the geopolitical festival at the OCC, painting straight onto its surfaces with his caustic marker in what looks set to be a revelatory performance-installation!

One of Rumania’s most significant artists, Dan Perjovschi is also one of the most best-known Rumanian artists internationally. He is a leading figure in Rumanian activism and politicized art. He has staged one-man shows in some of the world’s most important museums, including the MOMA in New York, the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the Tate Modern in London and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. He is also a regular at high-profile international art events such as the Documenta in Kassel and the São Paolo Biennale.

His work is multifaceted, but he primarily made his name as a performance artist and with his black and white sketches caustically critiquing political developments in his homeland and the world.

Charged with opening the trilogy of Transitions festival last year at the OCC in its first-Balkan-manifestation, he presented his artistic career and developments on the world political scene in an unforgettable performance-lecture with the title “From the Museum wall to the Facebook wall”.

This year, he will intervene with his characteristic sketches on both the OCC’s glass surfaces and the LED wall on its frontage, transforming the building into a huge and hugely humorous, reflective and political installation.
