Tirvania Reerkrit: (who is afraid of red, yellow and green)
Exhibition May 17 − July 24, 2019
For the first time, the Hirshhorn Museum presents an exhibition of contemporary Thai artist “Tirvania Revekrit: (who is afraid of red, yellow and green)”.
The exhibition will turn the Hirshhorn Gallery into a common dining room, where visitors will be invited to curry and an invitation to have dinner together. The installation includes a large mural painted on the walls during the exhibition, which mentions protests against the policies of the Thai government.
The exhibition will also include a series of documentary short films created specifically for Hirshhorn by the leading independent filmmaker of Thailand and the owner of the Golden Palm branch Apichatpong Virasethakul in collaboration with the artist.
Tiravania’s long and varied career (1961) cannot be classified. For almost 30 years, his artistic work has been focused on experience and real-time exchange, breaking down the barriers between the object and the viewer.
The name of the Tiravania culinary installation, which will be presented in Hirshhorn for the first time since its entry into the museum collection in 2017, refers to the colors that various factions wear in recent protests by the Thai government.
The name also refers to the vandalism of 1982 over the painting by Burnett Newman in Berlin with the same name. The motive of the crime was the conviction of the intruder that the picture of Newman was a "perversion" of the German flag.
