Green Go Home continually modifies its mediums, manifesting differently each time that it occupies a new landscape. Conceived as a form of a dynamic dialogue with the looming protests and civil unrest throughout the world today, this context-responsive undertaking brings together found images and evocative text that equally recall the fragmented language of self-actualization found on many social media platforms and the poetic, agit-prop of historical movements like the Situationist International. The grid of images takes on a polyphonic relationship to Tiravanija’s written statement, thereby interweaving layers of interpretation, readings, and misunderstandings.
With a conceptually- and socially-engaged artistic practice that intersects with notions related to place, care, and collaboration, Tiravanija’s works often seek to build bridges and foster relationships between local collaborators. In the Berlin iteration of Green Go Home, the works of the Berlin-based artists take center stage, ranging from subtle personal interventions to more politically-charged contributions that directly react to local politics. Vu and Tiravanija have invited local artists they admire, both long-term colleagues and strangers, ranging from emerging artists to those with internationally-established careers.
