Rirkrit Tiravanija (Thai, b. Argentina, 1961) collaborated with more than forty master printers, graduate and undergraduate students, and others on his monumental print Untitled 2008–11 (the map of the land of feeling) at Columbia University’s LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies. Almost ninety feet long and taking three years to complete, it chronicles twenty years of Tiravanija’s peripatetic life, his recurring themes, and historical references. The print is on view for the first time at the Johnson in this exhibition.

While a graduate student at Columbia, Korakrit Arunanondchai (Thai, b. 1986) not only studied under Tiravanija but was also one of his collaborators on this ambitious project. In this exhibition, Arunanondchai continues his engagement with the history of art, philosophy, popular culture, tourism, and self-representation with new denim sculptures and video reminiscent of experimental documentaries.
