Lia Perjovschi, Body Mind Map , 2006
digital print enlargement of variable size after original A4 ink drawing/collage Detail of Knowledge Museum, 1999

The freedom of critical thinking is crucial to Lia’s practice, which involves recovering, collecting and disseminating information. She is – in sum – a personal alternative to the institutionalisation of knowledge and carries her own portable, emancipated system of knowledge with her. Her history of the world from pre-history to today appears in note form as a reading of ideas in hand-drawn diagrams that touch on history, art theory, politics and language – what she calls a Mind Map (Diagram).

Info desde aquí. Es realmente complicado encontrar información de esta artista sin que mencionen a su pareja, Dan Perjovschi.


For over ten years now, the artist has been interested in the visual representation of the accumulation of information/knowledge. The belief in ideals, in the realization of dreams, as well as in the function of art in increasing knowledge, is one of the most important characteristics of Perjovschi’s artistic practice. With the Plan for a Museum of Knowledge, she proposes an imaginary museum, which is based on the metaphors of the Body, the Earth and the Universe. The museum is complemented with the subunits of Culture, Art and Science. The installation, which comprises drawings, objects, charts, photos and colour prints, is an objectification of the mass of information the artist has acquired through reading, travelling and creative work.
