The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke presented a mid-career retrospective (August 23, 2007 – January 06, 2008) of the work of Romanian artists Dan Perjovschi and Lia Perjovschi. Born in 1961 and educated in the Romanian socialism system, Dan & Lia Perjovschi create work that resides at the nexus of art, society and politics; both artists belong to the first avant-garde movement following the 1989 Romania Revolution. Dan is internationally renowned for large and small scale drawing installations of hundreds of cartoon-like figures that comment on local, national and international cultural and current affairs. He is also the foremost political cartoon satirist in Romania. Lia is well known for her performance and conceptual art. This unprecedented exhibition included paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, videos, installations and conceptual art from 1986 to the present, as well as new commissioned works. The show followed an installation of Dan Perjovschi's drawings in the "Projects" section of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The exhibition was curated by Kristine Stiles, France Family Professor of Art, Art History, & Visual Studies at Duke.
