Rirkrit Tiravanija cooking session and sound performance at HangarBicocca

On June 23, 2026, Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan presents a special evening tied to Rirkrit Tiravanija's retrospective 'The House That Jack Built'. The event unfolds in three parts: a conversation between the artist and critic Angela Vettese (Iuav University) inside the exhibition, with visitors wearing headphones; a public cooking session led by Tiravanija around 8:30 PM, echoing his relational practice; and a sound performance 'The Sound That Jack Built' at 10 PM by the collective 19'40'', featuring compositions by Francesco Fusaro, Sebastiano De Gennaro, and Enrico Gabrielli on the installation 'untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9)' inspired by Friedrich Kiesler's Raumbühne. The retrospective, curated by Lucia Aspesi and Vicente Todolí, explores Tiravanija's thirty-year architectural and spatial research, reinterpreting modernist models from Le Corbusier to Carlo Scarpa as habitable spaces. The evening is free, with registration from 6 PM.
