Rirkrit Tiravanija’s engagement with politics and propaganda can be seen across his ongoing series of slogan paintings on newspaper pages. In his new series of newspaper works, Untitled (do we dream under the same sky / June 25, 2016), 2016-2017, Tiravanija addresses the Brexit referendum results. The phrase, 'Do we dream under the same sky' is painted over the pages of the Daily Mail newspaper dating from 25th June 2016 which had the most current post-Brexit headlines.

On the newspaper series Tiravanija says, "I consider them like signage, like stop signs, road signs. They form a series but they can make you pay attention to a certain place and a certain moment when you are confronted by them. I think about that layering of the newspaper, which is an activity I’m very interested in, and in the activity of information being gathered. There are just a lot of layers there for me, from the ads to the typeface of the newspaper itself. There’s a lot of coincidence – or accidents, or maybe even intentions – in the way that certain things get laid out on these pages. The sign makes you stop and pay attention to the other things happening behind it”
