Ameet Singh,a Delhi-based architect and installation artist,has a fervid passion for music. But the 33-year-old is quick to clarify that hes no composer,nor does he play an instrument. However,Singh,a postgraduate in Three Dimensional Design from the University for the Creative Arts,Rochester,UK,has a unique way of merging his passion with his profession. For eight years now,he has been working on a series of site-specific installations that exclusively explore music,digital projections and space. He has done three shows till now. The first one was at the Zandra Rhodes Gallery in the UK,in 2004 ,while the next one was in April this year at Alliance Française de Delhi. Just last Friday,Singhs latest exhibit Silent Spinnings was exhibited at designer Shruti Narayans boutique Lila in Lado Sarai.
Interestingly,Singhs installations dont exist in a defined physical form,and are a play between sound,space and projected light. My installations try to bring out the nuances of an architectural space. Depending on a particular space,I add site-specific sounds and pre-recorded music,coupled with projected light, says the artist,who,in Silent Spinnings,used fabrics,textures and hues of Lilas outfits to create his work. The clothes in the boutique had a very definite pattern of colours and I enhanced this pattern through digital projection and music, he explains. Singhs next show,a part of Red Earths annual Monsoon Festival,will be in August at Alliance Française once again. The theme of my upcoming work has more of a regional focus as I am going to explore monsoon as an Indian phenomena, he says.
