Rirkrit Tiravanija has created the second Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission artwork for National Gallery Singapore. Featuring an interlocking bamboo structure with a simple wooden tea house at its centre, this site-specific installation springs from the artist's interest in fostering social engagement and human interaction through art. With homes in Chiang Mai, New York and Berlin, Tiravanija's nomadic life is a constant negotiation of cultures, and a source of inspiration for his practice. This catalogue illuminates this influential artist's fascinating oeuvre through newly commissioned essays and full-colour images of the installation. Other artists featured in this Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission series include Danh Vo (2017) and Charles Lim (forthcoming).
Published in conjunction with the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission: Rirkrit Tiravanija, an exhibition curated by Silke Schmickl at the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Gallery in National Gallery Singapore from 24 January to 28 October 2018.
