“When you create a universe using dialogue, it feels like standing up naked in the gallery and saying, ‘I did this!’ Every word that you say lives and breathes out there, and reflects you. It is not cool.”
-- Alexandre Singh*
It is Throwback Thursday!
In 2013, The Drawing Center hosted the first North American museum exhibition of works by Alexandre Singh. This presentation was comprised of the artist’s new series of "Assembly Instructions entitled The Pledge". This project took interviews that the artist conducted throughout 2011 with noted scientists, artists, writers, and filmmakers, and transformed them into fictional dialogues visualized according to Singh’s signature format of collaged photocopies connected by hand-drawn pencil dots on the wall. Filling the Main Gallery, Singh’s fictionalized—and spatialized—interviews positioned drawing not only as a physical gesture, but also as a graphic conduit for the imaginative process.
