An exhibition presenting over 200 works on paper from the artist’s ongoing series of commissioned drawings derived from photographs of demonstrations published in the “International Herald Tribune.” While public protests and mass demonstrations are often associated with the politics of the 1960s, Tiravanija’s ongoing project reconsiders their relevance in today’s political climate. The “Demonstration Drawings” provide a perspectival view of collective actions, political protests, and popular sovereignty movements worldwide—turning ephemeral images of strife and social conflict into documents of political aspiration. Curated by João Ribas.
