A catalogue of drawings published on the occasion of Dan Perjovschi's exhibition, Auto Drawings, in 2003 at Kunsthalle Göppingen.
In Perjovschi's work, information is deciphered and processed through a constellation of drawings, drawn directly onto the gallery walls using his 'trademark' black marker pen. These combine familiar, reworked, and transplanted images with new data and motifs. The wall becomes a collection of aphorisms and caricatures: a super-sized newsworthy strip.
Black & White Cape Town Report, Perjovschi's exhibition in A4's gallery, took place in 2019 following a two-week residency spent engaging the local context through spontaneous encounters, conversations, commutes, and by reading the daily papers.

Dan Perjovschi (b. 1961) is an artist, writer and activist born in Sibiu, Romania. His artistic practice combines illustration, political satire, comedy, performance. “Perjovschi does not ignore the inherent contradictions of the socioeconomically privileged arena where his work can be found,” Ocula magazine wrote of the artist. “To violence, opulence and extremism, he responds with puns, laughter and ridicule as the protection of freedom.”
