Romania
The Horizontal Newspaper. The Thank you edition (after the elections)

Dan Perjovschi

Romania is a democracy. We owe this to an active and resilient cultural and civil society. This edition is dedicated to them.

The Horizontal Newspaper is an initiative of the artist Dan Perjovschi which began at the initiative of FITS in 2010 and continued with the support of Radu Stanca National Theatre and the City Hall of Sibiu. It is a unique project worldwide. The newspaper includes social, cultural, political, local and global sections and its permanent guests are: ALEG (the Association for Liberty and Equality of Gender) Poets Festival in Transylvania, Sibiu. Artists and associations in Romania and from abroad are also “published” depending on each year’s theme. Dan Perjovschi is editor, proofreader and unique designer.

Dan Perjovschi was born in Sibiu and he is a citizen of honour of the city. He lives and exhibits in Sibiu, Bucharest and the rest of the planet. He is a member of GDS the Group for Social Dialogue in Bucharest. He’s a journalist at “Revista 22” where he has been publishing drawings and texts continuously since 1990.

In his forty-year career he had over 1000 exhibitions and art projects. Personal exhibitions can be seen at the MoMA New York, Tate Modern London, Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, Kiasma Helsinki, ROM Toronto, WKV Stuttgart, Caixa Barcelona, the museums Ludwig in Aachen and Koln, Magasin Grenoble or the Skopje Art Museum and he participated in art biennials in Venice, Lyon, Sao Paolo, Sydney, Istanbul, Sharjah, October Salon Belgrade, Periferic in Iasi and ArtEncounters Timisoara.

In 2023 he was invited to the most important art exhibit in the world, Documenta 15 Kassel, Germany with an extension of his project in Sibiu. As the theme of Documenta was cooperation and collaboration, PAV, the platform for contemporary art initiated by the artist a couple of years in the past, looked into supporting independent space in Sibiu. 

His only permanent work is at NTK, The Technical National Library in Prague from 2009.

Perjovschi is represented by the galleries Gregor Podnar Wien, Jane Lombard New York, Michel Rein Paris, Kaufmann Repetto Milano and for artist books by Galeria Posibila Bucharest.
