Barbara Vanderlinden in conversation with artist Rirkrit Tiravanija. At Gladstone Gallery, Brussels, Tiravanija presents (the intellects take leave) - on view until December 20, 2025.

In conversation with curator and art historian Barbara Vanderlinden, Tiravanija reflects on his trajectory from his student years in Chicago (in 1987) to the present, tracing a shift from object-based art toward a more relational practice: filling the white cubes with life, often taking the form of places to eat, sleep, share, and gather.
