Thaipark Cooking Session after Rirkrit Tiravanija

Rirkrit Tiravanija, mai mee chue 2004 (pad thai), 1990/2004, installation view, Nothing: A Retrospective, Chiang Mai University Art Museum, 2004

As part of the opening week of Rirkrit Tiravanija’s exhibition "Das Glück ist nicht immer lustig", a cooking session by Thaipark will take place in the atrium of the Gropius Bau. Visitors are invited to enjoy dishes from the chefs at Thaipark and join in a communal dining experience.

Thaipark began in 1992 as a picnic of German-Thai families who met in Preussenpark to cook and share meals and is now a meeting place for the Southeast Asian community and a popular street food market. It is organised by the vendors themselves and has a large loyal fan base that regularly supports the event, which is threatened by displacement, with protests and expressions of solidarity.

Meeting point: Gropius Bau, Atrium (Ground floor)

Next date:

• Date Wednesday, 11/September/2024 20:00 bis 21:00
• Venue Gropius Bau
• Address Niederkirchnerstraße 7, 10117 Berlin-Mitte
