School of the Art Institute of Chicago alum Rirkrit Tiravanija (MFA 1986) has been given his first United States museum survey at MoMA PS1 in New York, which will feature his famed interactive pieces among other works. With more than 100 artworks, Tiravanija’s show is one of the biggest that PS1 has devoted to a single artist in several years. The show was curated by fellow alums Ruba Katrib (BA 2004) and Yasmil Raymond (BFA 1999), working in collaboration with Jody Graf and Kari Rittenbach.

Tiravanija is well-known for his works that feature audience participation, like untitled 1990 (pad thai), in which a team of workers prepares Pad Thai for the attendees’ consumption. That work will be recreated on a stage, like a theatrical production, along with four other interactive pieces. The show will open October 12 and run through March 2024.
