Dan and Lia Perjovschi have been making art since 1986. They are sceptics who matured under a dictatorship that ended in 1989 with the Romanian revolution.

Dan draws directly on walls, floors and windows in art exhibitions. His humour addresses serious issues – world politics, social life, culture, the relations between the local and the global, and personal concerns.

The freedom of critical thinking is crucial to Lia’s practice, which involves recovering, collecting and disseminating information. She is – in sum – a personal alternative to the institutionalisation of knowledge and carries her own portable, emancipated system of knowledge with her. Her history of the world from pre-history to today appears in note form as a reading of ideas in hand-drawn diagrams that touch on history, art theory, politics and language – what she calls a Mind Map (Diagram).
