Alexandre Singh's 'Causeries' was initiated in 2012 by Defne Ayas, director of Witte de With, a contemporary art center in Rotterdam. The project was conceived as a way to showcase Singh's ongoing research during his residency. The term 'causeries' implies a relaxed format, distinct from formal lectures or presentations. The project is featured in artpress n° 438, a special issue on 'FIAC hors les murs' from November 2016.
