Rirkrit Tiravanija & Bárbara Sánchez-Kane

A conversation about art, fashion, and cultural practices, and how they influence their work.

Bárbara Sánchez-Kane, under the figure of the sentimental macho, resists the traditional notions of mexicanidad and its relationship with the feminine and the masculine. Whether through fashion, performance, painting or installation, all of his work presents the anxiety produced by, and our fear to question pleasure and domination in a hegemonic masculine society.

Even though Rirkrit Tiravanija’s diverse artistic production eludes classification, he has accurately described it as “relational”: a body of work focused on real-time experience and exchange that breaks down the barriers between the object and the spectator while questioning the art object as fetish, and the sacredness of gallery and museum displays.
