Wilkinson Gallery is pleased to present a solo show of documented performances by Romanian artist Lia Perjovschi. An active artist for over 20 years both independently and in collaboration with her partner Dan Perjovschi, she has built up a vast body of work that reflects both her personal development and the momentous history of her country.

The exhibition curatorally distinguishes between works made before and after Ceausescu’s toppling in the revolution of December 1989 and charts Perjovschi’s sometime angry, sometime melancholic, sometime humorous responses to Romania’s ever changing, perhaps progressing, social and economic development through performance.

This exhibition marks Lia Perjovschi’s first exhibition with Wilkinson and only her second in London. Her work has previously been included exhibitions at Tate Modern and the ICA and will be at the Biennale of Sydney 2008 and Modern Art Oxford in 2009. Collaborating with Dan Perjovschi she shared a major retrospective at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University (2007). The artist currently lives and works in Bucharest.
