On 12 January, you can experience Rirkrit Tiravanija: DAS GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG for the last time. The exhibition will be activated all day long and accompanied by a performance, a book launch and a screening of a film by Tiravanija.

During the event between 15:00 and 16:00, the ping pong tables of the installation untitled 2024 (السؤال هو غداً) (tomorrow is the question) (morgen ist die frage) (jutro jest pytaniem) (завтра это вопрос) (yarindir soru) (Завтра питання) (ngày mai là câu hỏi) by Rirkrit Tiravanija in the atrium are not accessible.

We will screen the artist’s experimental feature film untitled 2008 (john giorno reads) all day long at our cinema. Additionally, Tiravanija’s work untitled 1996 (rehearsal studio no. 6) will be activated through a performance by the unthaitled collective. The day concludes with the launch of the first volume of our new publication series The Practice – What Moves Artists: RirkritTiravanija: On Making Less.
