The Book Object as Exhibition, an Interview with Dayanita Singh

preview

Views of Dayanita Singh’s “book object” mini-retrospective at Callicoon Fine Arts (all photos by the author for Hyperallergic)
			
		
Artist Dayanita Singh wasn’t happy taking photographs in the traditional way, preferring to create what she calls “book objects,” mini-exhibitions to showcase her work. Singh plays with the conventional language of art, and&nbsp;even calls herself an “off-set artist” to denote her preferred way to display her images.
She is currently exhibiting in the Carnegie International exhibition in Pittsburgh, and she has a small retrospective of her book objects at Callicoon Fine Art on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. I talked to her about her love of images,&nbsp;a formative (and funny) experience she shared with Robert Frank, and the future of the artist book.
A special thanks to Flash Trading (flashtrading.bandcamp.com) for providing the music for this episode.
		
		
This and more in the&nbsp;current episode&nbsp;of our weekly&nbsp;Art Movements&nbsp;podcast.
