{"product_id":"9789491435461","title":"Alexandre Singh: Causeries","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts title derived from the French word \u003ci\u003ecauser\u003c\/i\u003e, meaning to chat or talk informally, \u003ci\u003eAlexandre Singh: Causeries\u003c\/i\u003e details a series of encounters between artist Alexandre Singh (born 1980) and various academics, writers, scientists and philosophers. In preparation for his ambitious play \u003ci\u003eThe Humans\u003c\/i\u003e at Witte de With, Singh set up a public discussion series exploring the key themes and concerns of his developing play, such as dance, drama and religion (to name just a few).\u003cbr\u003eAiming at an alternative form of public conversation, more relaxed than what is allowed at a symposium or conference, Singh engaged the invited speakers in deliberately informal conversations on such wide-ranging topics as Woody Allen, Hindu cosmogony, Aristophanes, \u003ci\u003eSouth Park\u003c\/i\u003e and scatology. This volume contains an edited selection of 29 of the public conversations conducted by Singh as part of the \u003ci\u003eCauseries\u003c\/i\u003e series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Witte De With Centre for Contemporary Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042515009776,"sku":"9789491435461","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789491435461_p0.jpg?v=1769887893","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789491435461","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
