Hawa Mahal Invite(1)About the Exhibition

Can a book be both a book and an exhibition?

And can a book, shown on a wall as a work, also become a catalogue of its very exhibition?

With ‘Museum of Chance’, Dayanita Singh has achieved all of this, creating a work that is simultaneously a book, an art object, an exhibition and a catalogue.

A book with 88 images and a short text by Aveek Sen, ‘Museum of Chance’ transforms into a book-object and exhibition when its 88 different covers are placed inside specially constructed wooden structures and displayes on a wall. In placing the book directly onto the wall in this way, Singh departs from simply just showing edition prints framed on a wall, turning the book itself into the art object: a work to be valued, looked at and read as such, rather than being simply regarded as a gathering of photographic reproductions.
