Rirkrit Tiravanija’s Untitled 2011(police police potato grease) is a silkscreen-workshop in the entrance of the gallery, where visitors can have a personal and unique t-shirt printed by one of our gallery hosts. The prints are in different languages – but something seems to have gone wrong in the translation.

Rirkrit Tiravanija was born in 1961 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He lives and works in New York, Berlin and Bangkok. Tiravanija was the winner of the 2010 Absolut Art Award and the 2005 Hugo Boss Prize awarded by the Guggenheim Museum. He recently had a retrospective exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld along with previous retrospective exhibition at the Museum Bojmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam that then was presented in Paris and London.  Tiravanija is also President of an educational-ecological project known as The Land Foundation, located in Chiang Mai, Thailand
