For\u00a0Rirkrit Tiravanija, meals are a default to prompt strangers to feel a familiarity with each other- the resulting relationship between public engagement and food his popularised oeuvre. As his meals grant visitors to reach the work\u2019s conclusion, however, the artist merely instigates his idea before ceasing control and leaving outcomes open. After he creates a platform \u2013 like a meal within a gallery in Untitled (lunch box)\u00a0 – he leaves it be within its context, entrusting participants to condition the work\u2019s conclusion. This assumes the gallery is passive – but the NGV is not a dead space waiting to be activated.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
