For his exhibition at the Secession Rirkrit Tiravanija is reconstructing Rudolf Schindler's residence in Los Angeles in model form. But the exhibition is less about constructing an architectonic facsimile correct in every detail than about producing an "animation" of Rudolf Schindler's intellectual world and Tiravanija's own ideas about relationships and communities. In the first few weeks of the exhibition the model will be gradually installed in the main exhibition space at the Secession, functioning as platform and stage throughout.

During the entire run Rirkrit Tiravanija and various guests will use the exhibition for the performance of the multi-media programme outlined below. Rirkrit Tiravanija thus brings both the stage-set and the entertainment programme into play as invitations to action. To the same effect he also asks visitors, that means you, to participate as actors in the shaping of the programme. So feel free to occupy the exhibition space, whether you simply want to relax or whether you'd like to take care of the evening's entertainment yourself: use the space to chat with friends, put on a film show, or even host your own DJ session.


CINEMA
Thursdays 7.00 p.m.
Every Thursday from 7 p.m. we show videos and films by artists from the sixties and seventies inside the exhibition space.
