Participative Performance | Rirkrit Tiravanija: DAS GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG

demo station: Baharestan Carpet

The Baharestan Carpet is made of cardboard and is an artwork to activate as well as a device to bring together creatives and meet different groups of people. On this occasion, Farifteh Tavakola-Borazjani will be the guest and invites you to draw or write the Persian alphabet with your fingers on the surface of the carpet.

The event takes place on a demo station by Rirkrit Tiravanija. The stage-like sculpture invites people to “demonstrate” something. Tiravanija plays with the different meanings of the term “demonstration” as both a political protest and a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby. For the duration of the exhibition, the demo station provides a space for daily public performances.

During the event, photographs and video recordings may be made in which you may be recognisable. By attending, you consent to these recordings being used to communicate the event or exhibition.
