The Black and White Cape Town Report: an exhibition by Dan Perjovschi.


In preparation for his show The Black and White Cape Town Report (2018) at A4 Arts, Dan Perjovschi spends two weeks in Cape Town engaging the local context through spontaneous encounters, conversations, commutes, and by reading the daily papers. Perjovschi deciphers the information he has collected through a constellation of drawings. These combine familiar, reworked, and transplanted images with new data and motifs. Perjovschi draws directly onto the gallery walls using his 'trademark' black marker pen. The wall becomes a collection of aphorisms and caricatures: a super-sized newsworthy strip.




About the Artist


Perjovschi's artistic practise combines illustration, political satire, comedy, and performance. Perjovschi was born, lives, and works in Romania. His work has been exhibited internationally in such locations as MoMA, the Venice Biennale, the Hamburger Kunsthalle and the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
