A Special Curatorial Project with Rirkrit Tiravanija: The Way Things Go

SEE EVENT DETAILS
A Special Curatorial Project with Rirkrit Tiravanija: The Way Things Go uncovers narratives, reveals personal stories, and shares vignettes that lead to a larger understanding of migration in the production of material culture. For this exhibition, contemporary artist Rirkrit Tiravanija invited artists from Asia and Europe, as well as from the San Francisco Bay Area, to contribute works related to the circulation and anthropology of seeds, plants, food, recipes, and related materials of kitchen culture that have migrated across regions and time. Featuring 12 artists and a wide range of work, from mixed-media installations to film, video, and archive-oriented art, The Way Things Go explores how personal effects, gourds, seeds, a recipe, and sugar all yield stories that go beyond each artist’s personal intention, and creates a larger story of interwoven meanings embedded in cultural geography and spatial history. Participating artists are: Maria Thereza Alves, Lonnie van Brummelen and Siebren de Haan, Peter Fischli and David Weiss, Camille Henrot, Chihiro Minato, Luc Moullett, the National Bitter Melon Council, Pratchaya Phinthong, Arin Rungjang, Thasnai Sethaseree, Shimabuku, and SUPERFLEX with the Propeller Group.
