Checkmate

"The House That Jack Built" di Rirkrit Tiravanija

Focus areas
• Art and image
• Mathematics
• Civics

Activities
This visit looks at the social and playful aspect of Tiravanija’s work, where play is used as a means to connect people.

In the workshop session, the class will split into two teams to create and customise game pieces for a giant chessboard. Using a mix of chance and imagination, the students will reinterpret traditional chess pieces based on shared themes. Once finished, this large-scale chessboard will act as a space for interaction and collaboration.
