Nr. 185 / 1992, 1995, 2007, 2011 / United States
Untitled (free/still)
Initiator(s)
Rirkrit Tiravanija
Description
The artist converted 303 Gallery’s exhibition space into a lounge area, where he cooked and served rice and curry to visitors free of charge.
Location
United States
Goals
"The work is a platform for people to interact with the work itself but also with each other. It is about the experiential relationship, so you actually are not really looking at something but you are within it, you are part of it. The distance between the artist, the art, and the audience gets a bit blurred".
Beneficial outcomes
People could eat for free in the gallery space.
