Discussion & Workshop | Rirkrit Tiravanija: DAS GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG
The voluntary student collective KleineHumboldt Galerie (KHG) invites you to discuss the cuts in the cultural sector in Berlin and to protest against them with posters and letters to the Senate. The KHG team will supplement this exchange with speeches that combine a critical examination of their own collective with a consideration of structural problems in the elitist cultural sector.
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.
