FEAR EATS THE SOUL by Rirkrit Tiravanija

Sep 26, 2019 - Mar 12, 2020
The Gallery

FEAR EATS THE SOUL by Rirkrit Tiravanija (b. 1961) blurs the boundaries between art and life, a key aspect of the artist’s practice that has led him at times to abandon the art object altogether in favor of creating shared, immersive experiences. In the reconfigured architecture of the Gallery building, abandoned wall frames were placed inside spaces they previously divided, keeping with Tiravanija’s instinct to invert the expected function of an interior space. The presentation offered a suite of interactive activities, including a soup kitchen serving seasonal recipes, a silk-screening T-shirt workshop, and a facsimile of the artist’s first solo gallery show in New York. The words FEAR EATS THE SOUL were spray painted by Tiravanija directly on the Gallery walls, gradually obscured over time under layers of graffiti by local artists.
