MOCA Free Friday Nights Bar Takeover

MOCA Toronto has partnered with local bars and organizations to activate Rirkrit Tiravanija’s work untitled 2013 (thomas demand’s here), 2022. Each partner will ‘takeover’ the bar on a monthly basis during MOCA Free Friday Nights powered by Scotiabank from 6:00–9:00 pm. Partners include Civil Liberties, Mother Cocktail Bar, and Bar Mordecai. Each organization will offer a different set menu that highlights their own unique offerings and plays with the concepts and themes present within Thomas Demand HOUSE OF CARD.

The installation untitled 2013 (thomas demand’s here) is a site-specific, physical environment which mirrors a bar named Black Label, located in Kokura, Japan. The work plays with themes of space and repetition. In addition to its activation as a bar space, it will be used to host performance and other artistic interventions, including karaoke.

Each partner is responsible for pricing their menu. Prices of drinks may vary.
