Rirkrit Tiravanija
November 5 - December 20, 2025 | Gladstone Gallery, Brussels
In his latest solo exhibition at Gladstone Gallery in Brussels, Rirkrit Tiravanija presents recent works that build upon an ongoing body of work referencing Canadian American artist Philip Guston’s paintings on American newspapers in the 1970s. Using tree lacquer and oil, Tiravanija adapts the concept for contemporary times by painting on editions of The New York Times that feature Donald Trump’s election and inauguration. The series reflects his broader practice which is grounded in relational aesthetics and approaches art as a catalyst for social commentary and change.
