demo station: Gallab – Hands at Work – activations curated by Gallab APS and Factotum Allestimenti
Workshop
Gallab presents "Hands at Work – activations curated by Gallab APS and Factotum Allestimenti".
Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 July, as part of the relational art exhibition The House That Jack Built by Rirkrit Tiravanija at Pirelli HangarBicocca, Gallab presents two hours of activations with artisans. Woodturning demonstrations with Lodovico Grippa, wood carving with Sergio De Giorgis, and a clay workshop with Elisabetta and Caterina. A participatory experience exploring gesture, material, and relationship.
Text curated by Gallab.
The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
During the exhibition, photographs and video recordings may be made in which you could be recognizable. By attending, you consent to these recordings being used to communicate the exhibition.
Admission is free on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability.
The activities planned during the demo station’s activation are organized by the association. If you have any questions about the content or how the event will be conducted, please contact the association directly.
