RIRKRIT TIRAVANIJA

‘Everywhere, we feel the shift of power under our feet; how can we not address it, even with our tongues in our cheeks!’

—Rirkrit Tiravanija

For more than 30 years, Tiravanija’s work has had resounding effects on the entire field of contemporary art. Participation, both active and passive, has been a primary element of his artistic practice, which in a way that is unique to Tiravanija dissolves the onlooker and object dichotomy.

(2019); Luma Arles, France (2018); Bonnierskonsthall, Stockholm (2011); the Guggenheim Museum, New York (2005), the Serpentine Gallery, London (2005); ARC Musee d’Art Moderne, Paris (2005); the Secession, Vienna (2002), and the Sculpture Project Munster (1997). As well as significant group exhibitions including: The Paradox of Stillness..., the Walker Museum, Minneapolis (2020); Take Me (I’m Yours), the Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milan (2017); Being Modern: MoMA in Paris, the Fondation Louis Vuitton (2017); Take It or Leave It, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2014); All The World’s Futures, the Venice Biennale (2013); Day For Night, the Whitney Biennial, New York (2006); Public Offerings, MOCA, Los Angeles (2001); Crossings, the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (1998); Traffic, CAPC Musee d’Art Contemporain, Bordeaux (1996); the Whitney Biennial, New York (1995).
