Para/Site Art Space is honored to present Dan Perjovschi solo exhibition in Hong Kong. It follows a series of artists’ projects organized by Para/Site Art Space that are responsive to the political and economic positions of the city and contextualizes this discourse regionally and globally.
Dan Perjovschi is well known for having brought the narrative of political cartoons into the realm of the museum through site specific wall drawing installations. These installations deal with the idea of the everyday and are a comment on the economic and political condition of the XXI century. The artist has translated a medium more usual of the small size format into large scale and monumental wall drawings that engage in the architecture of the location, pushing the meaning and limits of the exhibition space. Audiences follow this narrative whilst experiencing the architecture of the art space. These site specific projects are conceived by Dan Perjovschi as ongoing series in progress that connect the different art galleries that host his exhibitions.
Intelligent humor is part of his critique which hits at the core values of the society that he is looking at and creates a starting point for social debate. Hong Kong provides with a new urban background for his research as the territory epitomizes many of the issues addressed in Dan Perjovschi’s drawings, including the ideas and deconstruction of capitalism, consumption and hyper-density.
Dan Perjovschi: Hong Kong First is curated by Alvaro Rodriguez Fominaya.
