Published to accompany the retrospective dedicated to Rirkrit Tiravanija, which centers on his spatial and architectural practice, the catalog assembles newly commissioned essays and conversations that examine the artist’s relationship with architecture and art. Notable contributions include an essay by curator Francesco Bonami, offering an overview of Tiravanija’s career from its inception; a text by architectural historian Beatriz Colomina on the artist’s exploration of space; a conversation between Tiravanija and architect Frida Escobedo, delving into the architectural and theoretical influences underpinning his work; and a dialogue with the exhibition’s curators, Lucia Aspesi and Vicente Todolí, providing profound insights into the project at Pirelli HangarBicocca.
Furthermore, the volume features detailed entries on the exhibited works, authored from interdisciplinary perspectives encompassing art, music, architecture, and cinema. The publication is further enriched by an extensive photographic sequence documenting the exhibition, alongside a glossary that retraces the architectural references informing the creation of the artworks on display.
