- Summary
- Twelve stencils held together with metal binding rings. Slogans die-cut on a hefty orange 2Lustro3 card, a specialty paper produced in France. In Thai culture the color orange or saffron represents simplicity and detachment from materiality, the perfect choice for this book of spiritual aphorisms. Comprised of six slogans in English, followed by their French translations, arranged by the artist so as to create a 2poem3 to be read from page one to twelve. The slogans were selected from a series of works exhibited at Galerie Chantal Crousel, Paris, in 2018. Most of the individual phrases —though sometimes misquoted as Rirkrit Tiravanija is happy to admit— can be easily tracked back to John Giorno’s poems, video games, high literature, TV shows or the artist’s everyday‘s wandering and procrastination… Thanks to the binding rings, the die cut individual stencils are usable and can be sprayed to easily diffuse Tiravanija’s ± activist » poetry -- Three Star Books website, viewed April 27, 2022.
