Twenty-ive years since Rirkrit Tiravanija doled
out free green curry to a voracious crowd
at Manhattan’s 303 Gallery, food remains key
to the Thai conceptual artist’s practice. He
has partnered with gallerist Gavin Brown on
a restaurant in upstate New York, chef Dalad
Khambu on Berlin eatery Kin Dee (see W*224),
and fellow artist Tobias Rehberger on a food
stall at Frankfurt’s Kleinmarkthalle. His twist on
a Negroni substitutes Carpano Antica Formula
vermouth for Campari. Topped with gin, ‘in
suicient quantity to ensure its dominance over
the other ingredients’, Tiravanija’s creation
‘has excellent efects on the imagination. I’ve
no idea how or why; I only know that it works.’
