This first Cook Book contains 23 recipes, previously performed in museums and galleries throughout the world by Rirkrit Tiravanija. All were cooked once more in his Chiang Mai kitchen and documented in the photographs by Antoinette Aurell. In addition, an essay by Thomas Kellein and an extended interview between him and the artist shed additional light on Rirkrit Tiravanija's work. Through this book the reader will understand more of what moves the artist, it also offers the possibility to cook such Thai staples from Pad Thai to Flaming Morning Glory, as well as new interpretations of Swedish, German and Spanish classics such as meatballs, Flädlesoup and Paella.

This book accompanies the exhibition Rirkrit Tiravanija: Just Smile and Don't Talk at Kunsthalle Bielefeld (July 11 - October 10, 2010).
