Dedicated to Tiravanija's ongoing exploration of spatial and architectural reflection, through installations inspired by Le Corbusier, Prouvé, Lewerentz and others

Published with Pirelli HangarBicocca.

Since the 1990s, Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija (born 1961) has centered his practice around social engagement. Rooted in a profound exploration of cultural identity and the experience of otherness, his projects interrogate the global systems underlying our social and political realities. The House that Jack Built features a selection of Tiravanija's works, in particular his installations referencing the iconic buildings of Sigurd Lewerentz, Le Corbusier, Rudolf Michael Schindler, Frederick Kiesler, Jean Prouvé and Philip Johnson. The exhibition's catalog includes new essays and conversations that delve into Tiravanija's engagement with architecture and art. These contributions include a text by Princeton University professor Beatriz Colomina on the artist's exploration of space, and an artist conversation with architect Frida Escobedo, delving into the architectural and theoretical influences embedded in his work.
