Not a stranger to the American audience after last year's marathon participation at three prestigious US museums –The Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center; and Nasher Museum of Art- Perjovschi returns to New York in a year of presidential elections and global unrest to contribute his views to the "big debates."
For this exhibition, the main gallery space is transformed into a debate room. The walls are merged into gigantic black boards covered by white chalk drawings. The second gallery space is transformed into a Portrait Gallery, bringing together drawings on paper and canvas of hundreds of individual faces that act as a large audience. Executed between 1994-97 as part of a larger series titled "Anthroprogramming", these drawings underscore the dichotomy between individual and mass identity.
