What Happened to us? Projects: 85 @ MOMA, by: Dan Perjovschi
Dan Perjovschi (Romanian, b. 1961), who lives and works in Bucharest, has transformed the medium of drawing, using it to create an object, a performance, and an installation. In the last decade, Perjovschi has made his drawings spontaneously in museum spaces, allowing global and local affairs to inform the final result. For his first solo museum exhibition in the United States, the artist will draw witty and incisive political images, in response to current events, on one wall of The Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium. Two weeks before the official opening, beginning April 19, Perjovschi will draw on the wall during public hours, allowing visitors to observe the creation of the work. The project is accompanied by a pamphlet created by the artist.

Media Release
Palestine Action Group Canberra (PAGC) - campaigning for freedom, justice and equality in Palestine - and Canberra Palestine and Climate Justice Group (CPCJC) are appalled at the censorship of the Palestinian flag in an Indigenous art installation at the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) and are rallying against it at 1pm today.
The groups say censorship of artwork or any nation’s flag is unacceptable, and censorship of the Palestinian flag while the Palestinian people are enduring a genocide is particularly distasteful.
“Once censorship starts, it is the beginning of the end, because if an institution can censor, particularly on such spurious grounds, there is no logical reason why you would censor one thing and not another,” says CPCJC’s Dr Tamara Kayali Browne.
“Even if you are not passionate about the struggle for Palestinian liberation, everyone has an interest in opposing this censorship, because if this is permitted, it sets a very bad precedent and we could all be censored.
“The NGA’s justification for censorship is patently absurd, as the flag consists of a piece of cloth, and a piece of cloth cannot possibly threaten anyone’s security.”
This censorship goes against the NGA’s own stance that,
“Art is for all of us. It allows us to see the world in ways that expand our minds, provoke our ideas, ignite our imaginations. At the National Gallery we strive for cultural experiences that surprise, that disrupt convention, that deepen our understanding of the human condition and the world we live in.”
It appears the NGA needs to correct its statement to read “except for Palestine”.
The artwork is a celebration of anti-colonial struggles. It is not ethically or logically coherent to allow expression of one anti-colonial struggle and not another.

21 giugno: serata da amici al lago per assistere alla trasposizione lezzenese del poema di Ulisse... la mia comprensione è relativa, ma è assolutamente apprezzabile, sia per il testo che per il magnifico scenario.
“When the Iraq war began I took small screen for printing anti-war art patches out in public and gave away the patches I printed on the spot”
