Eight things you need to know about ALEXANDRE SINGH:

1. born in 1980 in Bordeaux, France,
2. he was brought up in Manchester before studying Fine Art at the University of Oxford, UK
3. he now lives and works in New York
4. his work primarily relies on the narrative conventions of storytelling, artfully manipulating words and imagery while playing with conventional narrative techniques and literary genres
5. the resulting pieces – spanning sculpture, collage, video, installation and performance – delve into diverse disciplines such as science, pseudo-science, industry, magic, business or art history; each element is linked to another producing unexpected congruencies and points of intersection
6. In his intricate, modular crossbreeds of installation, film, theatrical performance and sculpture, linear time routinely collapses, reality and fictions from diverse temporal points meet and meld, tales frequently swallow their own tails and the viewer performs the role of dazed, delighted navigator – MARTIN HERBERT
7. and good news: Witte de With, Center for Contemporary Art (Rotterdam) is going to present the on-site realization of The Humans, a theatrical play that aims to ‘create a new world’ by SINGH
8. this project, on view from 26 April to 28 October 2012, came into being after seven years of correspondence between ALEXANDRE SINGH and DEFNE AYAS, Witte de With’s newly appointed director
