Nothing is Forever celebrates the completion of the SLG’s £2 million building project, bringing together wall paintings, drawings and text pieces by 20 British and international artists, among them Romanian Dan Perjovschi.

Other artists in the show: Fiona Banner, Robert Barry, Ernst Caramelle, Brian Chalkley, Sam Dargan, Dustin Ericksen, Craig Fisher, Penny McCarthy, Paul Morrison, Henna Nadeem, Dan Perjovschi, Sam Porritt, Yinka Shonibare MBE, David Shrigley, Gary Simmonds, Lily van der Stokker, Milly Thompson, Mark Titchner, Lawrence Weiner, Gary Woodley

Seamlessly integrating art and architecture, each work is destined to be embedded in the fabric of the buildings when painted over at the end of the show. Nothing is Forever marks an important and transitional moment in the South London Gallery’s history as the institution expands into a formerly derelict house and a new building incorporating the surviving walls of a former lecture theatre and library. Featuring a 24 carat leaf wall painting, a 13-storey high design on a tower block and 5000-word film script handwritten directly onto the gallery walls, the exhibition draws visitors through the SLG’s new and existing spaces with a variety of approaches to making art directly on the walls.

Undoubtedly one of the best known Romanian contemporary artists, Dan Perjovschi brings his unique brand of witty cartoon-style, politically resonant drawings. Dan’s works have appeared in a variety of formats: from his notebooks, to newspapers and on the walls (literally) of galleries around the world, including the UK.
