The End of Summer is a first person account of Myles' experience of
an installation by the artist Rirkrit Tirivanija, and its inevitable aftermath.
The highly subjective nature of Myles' work is contradicted by his
decision to analytically re-present his two-part silkscreen work alongside
Tirivanija's walled-up doorway Untitled, 2001 (no fire no ashes).
The End of Summer accepts the invitation for social exchange, which
Tiravanija's practice is premised upon. However, Myles' accompanying
commentary hints at the limitations of socially engaged practices and
makes his active involvement a central concern of the work.
