In the original version of "Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Green?," the artist cooked food for visitors on the gallery floor. Often, he even cooks the food himself, as he did for the original 2010 manifestation of this piece in Bangkok. In Thailand, the party colors are red and yellow — red being more grassroots farmers and the yellow shirts being more royalist. In Thai cuisine, we also have yellow curry, we have green curry and we have red curry. In the original version of the piece, the gallery walls were covered with drawings of Thai protests.
