General introduction to Sumakshi Singh’s art practice.
“In, Between the Pages” – Kochi-Muziris Biennale, India – 2014. This interactive, multi-media installation plays with perspective to create the illusion of a manuscript book, in which viewers see themselves and others moving about as miniature characters.
“Circumferences Forming, Always Transforming, Now Reforming and Leaving Centers Everywhere”– Musée d’Art Contemporain, MAC Lyon, France: part of exhibition “Indian Highway”, 2011. Islands of images resembling old Italian frescoes peel off the walls and ceiling while tiny holes in the floor and walls reveal intricate stop-motion animations and sculpted micro-worlds.
“Journeys” – Kunsthaus Langenthal, Switzerland: part of exhibition “One and One make Eleven”, 2015. A mapped exploration of journeys- great and small, from a humble vine growing on its destined pre-drawn path to Hanuman’s grand journey from the scriptures.
“Circumferences Reforming: Peel Till They Bloom” – TRIAD, Miami, USA – 2012. Artist walk-through of the exhibition.
