Singh’s work derives at once from traditions in literature, performance, photo-conceptualism and object-based installation art. Often starting with elaborate, publicly presented lectures that blend historical fact with narrative fiction, Singh’s practice resists categorization. Taking in such diverse genres as writing, collage, installation and performance, Alexandre Singh’s works are characterized by obsessive details and linkages. Drawing upon a dizzying constellation of themes and characters; culled as much from classical history and philosophy, as popular and consumer culture; Singh’s universe is one of absurdist junctures and juxtapositions in which Adidas founder Adi Dassler is re-imagined as Faust; Piero Manzoni creates a camera that eats the Universe; and Molière’s send-ups of 17th century snobbery are translated to modern-day New York. If figures such as Molière, Lucian of Samosata, and even Woody Allen, appear as characters in Singh’s world, it only seems natural, his works perpetuating a like spirit of wit, imagination and fantasy.\r\n\r\nAlexandre Singh's work has been exhibited in venues throughout Europe and the United States including The Serpentine Gallery, London; New Museum, New York; PS-1 MoMA, New York ; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Palais de Tokyo, Paris and Sprüth Magers, Berlin. Singh’s work is held by a number of private and public collections including MoMA, New York and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.

Zijn werk inspireert zich op tradities in literatuur, performance, foto-conceptualisme en installatiekunst. Het startpunt is vaan een openbare lezing die historische feiten met fictie mengt, maar Singhs kunstpraktijk ontsnapt aan elke poging tot categorisering. Obsessieve details en links typeren zijn werk, dat verschillende genres aanneemt, zoals tekst, collage, installatie en performance. Singhs universum is er een van absurde samenkomsten en combinaties, en haalt inspiratie uit een duizelingwekkende constellatie van thema’s en personages, geplukt uit klassieke gescheidenis en filosofie, maar ook uit populaire en consumentencultuur. Adidas-oprichter Adi Dassler wordt heruitgevonden als Faust; Piero Manzoni creëert een camera die het universum opvreet; Molières parodieën op 17de-eeuws snobisme wordt vertaald naar hedendaags New York. Wanneer figuren als Molière, Lucianus van Samosata en zelfs Woody Allen opduiken als personages in Singhs wereld, lijkt dat de evidentie zelve, met zijn werken die een gelijkaardige spitsvondigheid, verbeelding en fantasie voortbrengen.\r\n\r\nWerk van Alexandre Singh is tentoongesteld in heel Europa en de Verenigde Staten: The Serpentine Gallery, Londen; New Museum, New York; PS-1 MoMA, New York; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Palais de Tokyo, Parijs en Sprüth Magers, Berlijn. Singhs werk maakt verder deel uit van een aantal private en publieke collecties, zoals het MoMA, New York en het Solomon R.
