Rirkrit Tiravanija, arguably Thailand’s most famous contemporary artist, opened his first-ever solo exhibition in the Kingdom last night in signature fashion: he cooked for his audience.
Rirkrit, whose work explores the social role of the artist and often promotes interaction with the public, has just opened “Who’s afraid of red, yellow and blue”, (named after a series of famous paintings by Barnette Newman) at 100 Tonson Gallery.
Previous international installations, such as a recreation of his own apartment and the setting up of a recording studio, have brought daily life into the gallery and Rirkrit worldwide recognition.
