For the first Fall 2021 ICP Talks, Dayanita Singh will discuss the place of editions within the realm of imagemaking. For many years, ICP alum and Artist Book Infinity Award winner, Dayanita Singhs' work has explored the intersection of the photobook and the space of exhibition. For this ICP Talks, Singh will be joined by ICP’s managing director of programs, David Campany and the discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A.

Speaker Bios:

Dayanita Singh’s art uses photography to reflect and expand on the ways in which we relate to photographic images. Her recent works, drawn from her extensive photographic oeuvre, are a series of mobile museums that allow her images to be endlessly edited, sequenced, archived and displayed. Stemming from Singh’s interest in the archive, the museums present her photographs as interconnected bodies of work that are replete with both poetic and narrative possibilities. Publishing is also a significant part of the artist’s practice: in her books, often published without text, Singh extends her experiments on alternate forms of producing and viewing photographs.
