Mainstream – An Evening with Dan Perjovschi
Tuesday May 4
19.30, Tate Modern, Starr Auditorium
Director: Anna Marziano, Country: France, Year: 2009, Run Time: 25min
The LIDF kicks-off it’s new partnership with Tate Modern with a very special evening of film, conversation and wine.
Presented in association with the Romanian Cultural Institute the artist Dan Perjovschi – subject and star of Anna Marziano’s film-portrait Mainstream – will be in conversation with Maeve Polkinhorn (Tate curator) following a screening of the film. Afterwards, the LIDF is happy to welcome the audience to a reception and glass of wine.
Dan Perjovschi’s produces subversive ‘graffiti’ art. A recent exhibition in Paris provides the centerpiece for the film, but the artist is also followed as he wanders the streets of the city, observing and recording incessantly in his black notebook. An open consideration of the work of an artist who embraces the ephemeral and performative nature of his work.
Presented in association with the Romanian Cultural Institute, London
