“All art was once contemporary,” reads a scrawl above the entrance to the Harn Museum’s “Highlights of the African Collection” exhibit in Gainesville. The words from Romanian artist Dan Perjovschi are a reminder of the ever-evolving and temporary nature of art. And I love this quote…it reminds me that to a certain generation Elvis Presley was as provocative as Adam Lambert and that the Mozart’s opera Così fan tutte was, for it’s time, considered to be rated R or possibly worse.

Anyway, check out the art of Dan Perjovschi, a cartoonist and illustrator whose work presents political commentary in response to current events…http://www.perjovschi.ro/

His work is at the Harn right now. During museum hours,  Perjovschi is using the entire space of the Harn Museum’s Rotunda to create an original work. Known as an artist, writer and journalist, he has made drawing as both an object and a medium of performance and installation.
