Is the political cartoon your favorite part of the Opinion pages? If so, you'll like this art exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York - a project that would be interesting to do locally as well. According to the New York Sun article, Romanian artist Dan Perjovschi will spend a week top a hydraulic lift, making political drawings in black Magic Marker on the tall white walls of the museum's Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium while visitors look on. Now, that's the best kind of graffiti -- edgy, political and invited.

From The Sun:

Mr. Perjovschi, trained in painting under a communist regime so strict it prohibited the study of artists newer than Picasso, said he is wary of being tied down, artistically or otherwise. "It gives me freedom to redraw," he said of the temporary nature of his irreverent cartoons, which range from gun-shaped human bodies to a figure with sweat stains labeled "global warming." "I can travel with my own drawings -- that's very nice," he said.

Mr. Perjovschi's work, part of MoMA's ongoing Projects series, officially opens next Wednesday. Until then, he will continue to draw directly on the atrium's walls for several hours a day while museumgoers watch, transforming the work from drawing to performance. When the exhibit -- Mr. Perjovschi's first solo exhibition in America -- closes August 27, the walls will be returned to white.

I can see our own SW Parra having a good time with a project like this... What do you think?
