26 January 2024 to 4 February 2024

Animal lovers will be delighted to experience a zootherapy session at the PHI Foundation as part of the "JOUEZ/PLAY" exhibition by artist Rirkrit Tiravanija.

Offered in collaboration with Flair Thérapie, this zootherapy service will take place on January 26 and February 4 in the installation "untitled 2017 (skip the bruising...)". This bar area allows visitors to play board games and, during these two sessions, relax in the company of Doris, a zootherapy assistance dog.

This initiative was inspired by Tiravanija's work "DO NOT EVER WORK (Chair edition) (2016)", which depicts a chair on which people sitting in it have to find a way to relax.
