FILE UNDER: RIRKRIT GIVES NEW MEANING TO: YOU ARE – WHAT YOU EAT ??!!<\/p>\n

OR: DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME – IF YOU LIVE IN LIBYA, CHINA . . . ARIZONA ?<\/p>\n

IN HIS T-SHIRT SHOP – WHAT YOU WEAR – IS WHAT YOU THINK. AND THOSE ARE – FIGHTING WORDS.
\nIT’S NOT SO MUCH A CLOTHING SHOP – AS A WALKING TABLOID – A PRINTING PRESS DISSEMINATING REVOLUTIONARY THOUGHT.
\nWHAT THEY USED TO CALL – A BROADSHEET.
\nWHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN & RESOURCES ARE SCARCE – THE T-SHIRT – IS A GOOD USE OF MATERIAL – JUST BETTER MAKE SURE – THE SOCIETY WHOSE DAYS ARE NUMBERED – HAS FREEDOM OF SPEECH . . . AND A SENSE OF HUMOR. <\/p>\n

JUST IMAGINE IF THE CONCEPT OF A SLOGAN-PRINTED T-SHIRT – EXISTED in 1776 . . .
\nTHAT’D BE SO FUNNY – TO SEE GEO. WASHINGTON IN A T-SHIRT – THAT PROCLAIMED: ‘OUT WITH THE BRITS’ !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

FEAR EATS THE SOUL – HOT OFF THE PRESS !! <\/p>\n

not to mention – its also nice to see a real live artisan – at work . . . and, on an ancient form of mass communication, to boot.
\nsilkscreen printing first surfaced in CHINA’S – SONG DYNASTY (960-1279AD).
\nand yes. when the power grid goes down – the old ways will re-surface.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n(THINK . . . ON THAT – ONE. HA.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwho knew. the beauty of plywood. and the make-shift – sink . . .
\nthe triumph of the white-wall break-down . . . not to mention that incredible plywood – golden hue.
\nironically so suited for – the digital camera era.
\noh, what a low-rent material – can do – when processed through the hands of a real artist. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\non the left, RIRKRIT TIRAVANIJA rests against his de-constructionist cube. yeah. gimme more of that big box take-down . . .
\ngallery shake-down. global shake-down. mind-set shake-down.
\nc’mon world get over – the ‘get-over’. the greed. the reign by terror . . . downscale and survival – is where it’s at. <\/p>\n

T-SHIRT NO T-SHIRT – SHOP HRS\/INFO<\/a><\/p>\n
