Rirkrit Tiravanija’s imperative “Go for the good spirit”, printed on an enamel sign, comes up against an overall sense of cluelessness and symptoms of fatigue after more than a year of the pandemic. A fourteen-page fax, printed on Japanese Kamiko paper, lists all of his suggestions for optimizing the space. Interested collectors can hang the accompanying enamel-sign multiple in their home and use the reproductions of the fax instructions to optimize the overall energy in their own spaces. Social practice, a central feature of Tiravanija’s work, is carried over into individual and private space at a time, when only very limited collective projects and social gatherings are possible due to the pandemic. For the time being, we are all following suggestion # 7: “During difficult times do breathing exercises in the light of the moon.”
