quote from wikipedia:
"Rirkrit Tiravanija (b. 1961, Thai: ฤกษ์ฤทธิ์ ตีระวนิช, pronounced RICK-rit Tira-vanit) is a Buenos Aires-born contemporary artist who divides his time in New York, Berlin and Bangkok.
His early installations involved cooking meals for gallery-goers.[1] Tiravanija's artwork, which explores the social role of the artist, is described by Nicolas Bourriaud as having a "relational aesthetics." His installations often take the form of stages or rooms for sharing meals, cooking, reading, playing music. Architecture or structures for living and socializing are a core element in his work. He is represented by Gavin Brown's Enterprise in New York.[2]"
