Overview
For the past 30 years, Tiravanija has been at the forefront of conducting a collective dimension for contemporary art. Known for producing participatory installations that engage viewers in communal rituals and activities – such as preparing and eating meals or playing ping pong – he works across a wide variety of media, including music, video, photography and assemblage.
A MILLION RABBIT HOLES is an immersive environment that reflects the febrile atmosphere of American politics in the lead up to the Presidential election last year. Viewers are surrounded by a wallpaper that features a roadside woodlot amid a forested landscape in upstate New York. Hanging atop the wallpaper are four brass-plated stencils with slogans that reflect the atmosphere of political debate in America: A DIFFERENT KIND OF NOTHING, REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER, A MILLION RABBIT HOLES, and HAPPINESS IS NOT ALWAYS FUN. A purple carpet, covered in piles of loose firewood, extends the photograph’s scenery into the gallery environment.
The exhibition was first shown at Pilar Corrias Conduit Street from October–November 2024.
