This publication documents a collective project which takes the form of an experimental platform, working as the extension of an artistic community based in Thailand. This large-scale installation explores urbanization in a post-rural condition, the act of building as a collaborative process, and land as a concept that can exist outside of ownership.
Do We Dream Under the Same Sky is an extension of the collaboration between artist
Rirkrit Tiravanija, architects
Nikolaus Hirsch and Michel Müller, and chef Antto Melasniemi. Designed by Hirsch and Müller as an outdoor shelter, the installation, made of modular bamboo and steel, welcomes visitors to engage in discussions while participating in the convivial atmosphere of shared food. This supplemental publication includes interviews, texts, images, and poems that illuminate the installation's properties of self-sufficiency and how it was conceived as a new component of Tiravanija and Kamin Lertchaiprasert's ongoing project “The Land,” a self-sustaining artistic community near Chiang Mai, Thailand. At the end of the festival, the structure will be transported to Thailand and will be the first building block of a new workshop on the land.
Also featured in the book are recipes developed by Melasniemi on the occasion of this installation-as-workshop, where the public is invited to participate in the cooking process.
