The installation expands the gallery like a growing organism leading from one room to another. The pencil-dots connecting the various drawings create the links of significations but also leave the space for own interpretation. Each wall refers to a different subject and contains own range of connections, which can fluently lead from images of parrots to Picasso\u2019s brain or a mysterious interior.\u00a0 Singh mixes surrealism with logical systems,\u00a0 observation with representations of life. It\u2019s like playing a game or tracking the thoughts of mad artist-scientist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Singh sets up a drawing not only as a gesture, but also as a transmitter of thought processes. Referring to historical and contemporary qualities of daily life, he creates visual and mental maps of flows of ideas and information, where disparate associations allow the contemporary to reside on one plane.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text by Weronika Trojanska<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Alexandre Singh<\/strong> <strong>The Pledge<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drawingcenter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Drawing Center,<\/a> New York<br \/><strong>Until March 13, 2013<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8113\" title=\"Alexandre Singh, Assembly Instructions (The Pledge- Simon Fujiwara), 2011.
