Rirkrit Tirawanija: Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Green
to
Hirshhorn Museum 700 Independence Ave SW, District of Columbia 20560
The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden will present the museum’s first-ever exhibition of works by contemporary Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija. The exhibition, titled Rirkrit Tiravanija: Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Green, will transform the Hirshhorn’s galleries into a communal dining space in which visitors will be served curry and invited to share a meal together. The installation includes a large-scale mural, drawn on the walls over the course of the exhibition, which references protests against Thai government policies. Tiravanija’s presentation unites his signature communal food-based work with his ongoing series of drawings derived from protest imagery, creating a unique dialogue within a single installation.
