demo station: TU Takeover

Reading and Exchanging Recipes

As part of a project seminar, students of TU Berlin have been analysing the exhibition Rirkrit Tiravanija: GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG in depth. They will present their results through formats they created themselves for Tiravanija’s demo station. The stage-like sculpture invites people to “demonstrate” something. Tiravanija plays with the different meanings of the term “demonstration” as both a political protest and a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby. For the duration of the exhibition, the demo station provides a space for daily public performances.
