Thaipark Cooking Session after Rirkrit Tiravanija

There have been many stories circulating about Rirkrit Tiravanija’s cooking sessions since the artist first exhibited a curry simmering on hot plates on plinths in 1989 and served Pad Thai at his exhibition opening the following year. However, Tiravanija not only creates situations of conviviality and communal eating; his artistic practice subverts the status of the isolated object in Western museums and instead turns to the use and life that forms around these objects. Pad Thai, prepared by Berlin’s Thaipark, literally gives a taste of the new programme under Jenny Schlenzka, which will centre sensual and playful experiences.
