Rirkrit Tiravanija
October 30, 2025, 3-5pm | MIA Park, Doha, Qatar
In this unique public art performance, Tiravanija will bake on-site and engage directly with the public, continuing his celebrated practice of blending art with communal experience. His interactive installation reinterprets the bakery oven and griddle as both a functional tool and powerful cultural symbol. Inspired by Argentine artist Victor Grippo’s 1972 performance in Buenos Aires, the Doha installation features a range of regional traditional ovens and griddles.
The installation is organised by Rubaiya Qatar, an international contemporary art quadrennial. The programme is part of the lead-up to its inaugural edition opening in November 2026 and coincides with Qatar-Argentina and Chile 2025 Year of Culture.
