"Table Tennis Champions put Rirkrit Tiravanija's Ping Pong Table to the Test" Exhibition Matches
Nyehaus
This event has ended.
Nyehaus will present exhibition matches by some of the sports most unlikely professionals in conjunction with the Rirkrit Tiravanija: Reflection exhibition.
Learn how to develop your third–ball attack, mix up your serves and improve your side-to-side footwork at Nyehaus' first invitational table tennis match. Watch U.S. Table Tennis Champions chop, spin and smash on Rirkrit Tiravanija's Untitled (The Future will be Chrome) (2008) ping pong table, produced by Cumulus Studios and currently featured in the Rirkrit Tiravanija: Reflection exhibition at Nyehaus.
Tiravanija's regulation sized mirror polished stainless steel table delivers ethereal visuals in its reflective surface and exacting play for even the most refined player. Speaking of refined players, it doesn't get more refined than the impeccable Marty Reisman and his competitors, future HBO ping pong stars, teen hustlers, and identical twins, Brad & Brandon Belle who will compete against each other as well as with spectators during the course of the evening.
