"Subsequently, Tiravanija repeated this cooking-as-art sculpture all over the world—so often, in fact, that by the late nineties he had almost branded himself as the happy Thai guy who cooks."

"His work dissolves the tenuous boundaries between viewer and participant, inviting the audience to interact, engage and enjoy--as if it weren't a formal exhibition at all, but a gathering of friends, sharing stories and temporarily escaping the pervasively isolated nature of contemporary life."

"Once the poster boy for ‘relational aesthetics’, Rirkrit Tiravanija is these days an artist uncommonly unconstrained by categorisations. While he continues to make sociable, topical exhibitions – this year, the Argentina-born Thai artist’s first exhibition in China offered visitors tofu soup, brick-making equipment for home-building (in reference to the country’s hyperactive growth) and bamboo models of highrises filled with birds (‘It’s about choices’, he said at the time) – it’s Tiravanija’s extramural activities that increasingly fascinate. Alongside the Land, the alternative-energy-powered rice farm and art project he cofounded outside Chiang Mai in 1998, his publishing company Plan B and his text-free O Ver magazine, he’s lately helped relaunch Bangkok’s Gallery VER: Tiravanija’s energetic generosity clearly isn’t restricted to his art."
