Asia Pacific Triennial, Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), Australia
Singh’s immersive installations are invitations into worlds of shifting perceptions, fracturing illusions, slower rhythms of time and fluid figure-ground relationships, to explore the bases of how we assign attention, construct meaning and perceive our realities within and without. Our everyday ‘givens’ are questioned as her work dissolves familiar forms and intimate memories into insubstantial mirages using perspective, eroding surfaces or using gossamer, web-like skins of thread and lace. Join us, as Singh walks us through 23 years of her interdisciplinary, creative practice - discussing the roles of accidents, inspiration, site, history, personal memory and metaphysics in making visual art.
Online Public Lecture on ZOOM
