Rirkrit Tiravanija
untitled 2013 (atlas)
The edition “Untitled (Atlas),” 2013, references Gerhard Richter’s “Atlas,” ongoing since 1962, as well as Marcel Broodthaers’s 1975 work of the same name. It is a continuation of Tiravanija’s own six-part “Atlas”, which he began in 1994 and has been expanding ever since. In the original six folders, Tiravanija collected photos and documents of significance for his own work and his life as an artist. Photos of himself cooking or traveling to an exhibit appear as frequently as photos depicting artistic influences such as Broodthaers. Texts and interviews are included as well. In “Untitled (Atlas),” 2013, Tiravanija has combed this atlas of his life and selected six motifs of particular personal weight, which he presents here as enlarged silkscreen prints.
