Lombard Freid is pleased to present Exit Strategy, Dan Perjovschi’s third solo show with the gallery. Perjovschi is known internationally for his unique blend of wit and sociopolitical critique, and for this exhibition, Perjovschi targets the upcoming American presidential election.

Having collected months worth of The New York Times, Perjovschi’s interest in American and world politics has informed his recent work, a series of interventions on newspaper pages. Perjovschi’s latest work pairs his renowned satirical eye with the material refuse of print media, highlighting the disposability and waste of American consumerist culture. The works presented in Exit Strategy illuminate the artist’s continued critical engagement in world politics through his dynamic and accessible illustrations, this time tackling the intricacies of the Obama and Romney campaign trails.

As the artist is known to do, Perjovschi has created many of the drawings in Exit Strategy on site, in direct response to his immediate environment. He has relied on his ongoing engagement with American politics to produce a body of work that dynamically addresses the 2012 election and its potential ramifications on current global relations.

In addition to Perjovschi’s drawings, Exit Strategy also features his War Collage series. These 56 smaller works on paper incorporate news articles, consumer packaging, and advertisements, humorously undermining their given purposes: to inform, to label, and to sell. These colorful juxtapositions coyly propose a complex—and comical—investigation of the relation between media and capitalism in the twenty-first century.
