Being Singular Plural

New York City

Being Singular Plural presents recent and newly produced film, video, and sound-based works by seven of the most innovative and visionary artists and filmmakers living and working in India today. This exhibition is the first Guggenheim show to exclusively feature artists from South Asia: Sonal Jain and Mriganka Madhukaillya of Desire Machine Collective, Shumona Goel, Shai Heredia, Vikram Joglekar, Amar Kanwar, and Kabir Mohanty.

Philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy’s notions on filmic evidence, social interconnectedness, and ethical and political participation serve as important intellectual frames. Visitors to the exhibition will be able to experience works that have never been seen in a North American museum before, several of which are also world premiers. A round-the-clock public artwork installed outside the museum along Fifth Avenue provides an additional interactive experience long after museum hours.
