Renowned contemporary artist Rirkrit Tiravanija has launched his largest solo exhibition in Singapore at STPI – Creative Workshop & Gallery. Titled "Say Yes To Everything," the retrospective spans over a decade of the artist's practice, featuring prints, editioned works, and interactive installations that emphasize communal experiences. The show includes signature elements of Tiravanija’s relational aesthetics, such as communal meals, origami sessions, and works that utilize UV light to reveal extinct animals, highlighting themes of migration, ecology, and social interaction.
This exhibition is significant as it showcases the evolution of Tiravanija’s work within the medium of printmaking, a result of multiple residencies at STPI since 2012. By transforming the gallery into a space for lived experience rather than just passive viewing, the show reinforces Tiravanija’s influence on relational aesthetics. It also addresses urgent global issues like the extinction crisis and environmental degradation, urging audiences to move beyond ignorance and engage more deeply with the world around them.
