4. The argument was developed in relation to the work of Rirkrit Tiravanija, whose various projects entail serving food and drink, performing live music, and re-creating a full-scale model of tho interior of his apartment in a gallery, an so on - all of which generate spaces for social exchange. The "generosity" often attributed to these works, is, however, misleading, in that, according to the structural logic of the gift, it demands reciprocity and fosters social contracts of obligation.
