Frith Street Gallery, London, is hosting 'Museum of Shedding', a solo exhibition by Dayanita Singh. The exhibition will be on view through January 13, 2017.For Dayanita Singh photography is simply a starting point rather than an end in itself. Her works has been termed “photo-architecture.”'Museum of Shedding' is even more emphatically architectural than Singh’s previous Museums. It is a space that one can imagine the curator of the museum occupying. There is a bed, a desk, a bench, a table, a stool, and storage for the museum’s collection. This collection, drawn from Singh’s archive, consists of black and white photographs of architecture. Some of these spaces are ancient, some contemporary, but they are all linked by an austere, pared down beauty. The gallery walls display some of the images as well as a number of empty storage boxes, suggesting endless possibilities for display, sequencing and editing. Museum of Shedding is a meditative work that ruminates on the artist’s relationship to photography, to the archive and to her own practice as a kind of “home.”The exhibition is on view at Frith Street Gallery, 17-18 Golden Square, London W1F 9JJ.
