David Zwirner presents its first exhibition of the artist Ririkrit Tiravanija from March 20—May 6, titled “The Shop”. Inspired by the Chinese sci-fi trilogy Remembrance of Earth’s Past, novels written by Liu Cixin surrounding tales of an alien invasion, the artist’s show of new works is a participatory exhibition that engages his viewers. Tiravanija works in a variety of mediums to bring his installations to life, including painting, video, photography, music, printmaking, and mixed-media assemblages, following a practice that looks at communal traditions like cooking—in particular Thai culinary traditions, which are centered around bringing people together.
