For his first solo museum exhibition in Greece, Romanian artist, writer and cartoonist Dan Perjovschi has been invited to create a new, large-scale 30m drawing installation directly onto the largest wall of the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) Foyer. The Long Wall Report is open to the public until 29 October 2023.
Perjovschi’s characteristic imagery, executed in permanent black markers, draws from current affairs, politics, social issues and contemporary narratives. With a humorous, incisive and critical eye, he explores political topics, including recent global conflicts, identity issues, consumerist habits and cultural biases as well as burning issues such as the migration crises and religious conflicts.
Through his cartoons, he has transformed the practice of drawing into a medium of information, political commentary and activism. Expressing difficult ideas in rapidly executed, off-the-cuff drawings, Perjovschi’s installations propose that art can be both political and critical without being didactic and moralistic.
