378 cm of folded pages – “Meeting Room” by Dan Perjovschi exhibited at Galeria Posibila

“Dan Perjovschi is internationally recognized for his artistic gestures that invade exhibition spaces, for drawing on the walls, and for the ephemerality and temporality of his work. He is also known for his quick comments on everyday events, and his satirical remarks about politics. Beyond the exhibition space and the permanent markers on the walls, his drawings reside primarily in the notebooks he always carries, they are the place where he writes down his ideas, where he tries out his jokes, a territory for experiments, his personal Wikipedia. The drawings later find their place in the printed medium, in artist books, catalogues, newspapers and magazines, postcards, flyers and invitations, illustrations and book covers.” (source: Galeria Posibila)

The publication with graphics by guest artist Dan Perjovschi in collaboration with the European Commission Representation in Romania presents the situation of the pandemic and the attitude of the European Union towards the chaos produced in 2020 (due to pandemics) with the establishment in Europe of the first state of emergency.

The artist book stands out for its unique design split in two folded pieces. All the illustrations, printed in electric blue, are carefully collected and transformed: from wall freehand drawings to photographs, and then to print. On their reverse side lays, in black and white, the iconic wall from Sibiu drew by Perjovschi, as a public art project. The second part of the book presents a curatorial text and an overview capture of the same wall from Sibiu (artist's hometown).
