Mandeep Singh  ਮਨਦੀਪ ਸਿੰਘNaarm Based Artist

South Asian artist living, learning and working on unceded Wurundjeri land. Employing experimental photography and sculpture to explore themes of cultural and personal memory, Singh’s practice allows her to relearn her Sikh identity from a diasporic positionality. A major interest for Mandeep is collaboration, letting go of ego and allowing art to be made by multiple hands. This can elevate work and create a space for artists and materials to speak with one another.
Singh reinvents the past and present through diverse materials, often working with natural and found objects.

Powder Print 
As part of Vesta at Solace. 
 
  • Pink natural powder (Gulal) on floor.

This work challenges the boundaries between art and movement. A site specific installation - made by screen printing a silhouette of the artists dancing figure - explores the dance floor as an ever changing space for expression. Mandeep was interested in creating an ephemeral work, that allows for disruption and embodies movement as the space transforms from club, to gallery, to club once again. Mandeeps choice to use Holi powder in bright pink was a deliberate nod to her heritage as a Punjabi women, often using materials in reference to tradition and cultural expression. The work interacts with a performance by Charlie Poustie, a friend and collaborator of Mandeeps. Charlies dance interacts with the powder, moving it around the space and giving the audience permission to do the same.
