In his films, photographs, live broadcasts, and kinetic sculptures, British artist Darren Almond explores changing conceptions of time and space as experienced by people in today’s technological age. Delving into both personal and historical memory, Almond often inverts and collapses the normal divisions between space and time, making us question our ability to demarcate them into measurable entities. -more- SITE SANTA FE PRESENTS DARREN ALMOND, page 2/2 SITE Santa Fe will present four video works by Almond, including his train trilogy and his poignant multi-screen installation If I Had You (2003), for which he was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2005.

  • DARREN ALMOND Dark Light 57 Rue Du Temple, 75004 Paris
    DARREN ALMOND Dark Light 57 rue du Temple, 75004 Paris March – May 2021 Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to announce the solo exhibition Dark Light with new paintings and works on paper by Darren Almond at 57 rue du Temple, in Paris. British artist Darren Almond works in a variety of media, spanning photography, film, installation, sculpture and painting. His diverse subjects deal with abstract ideas of time, space, history and memory, and how these concepts relate and intersect. Unearthing the symbolic and emotional potential of objects, places and situations, the artist produces works charged with historical as well as personal resonance. Darren Almond, Katsura Night Fall III, 2021 For his second show with the gallery in Paris, Almond will present a 182 x 258 cm selection of new paintings and works on paper inspired by the “Great photo : Stephen White & Co Conjunction”, a rare astronomical phenomenon that recently took place in one of its most remarkable iterations in December 2020. Steeped in mythology, this celestial event occurs approximately every twenty years, when Jupiter and Saturn appear closest together in the sky. On the night of the Great Conjunction of 2020, the two planets shared the most intimate nocturnal proximity since 1226, appearing as a unified, gigantic and extraordinary star defying perception, space and time. Drawing on this cosmic alignment, as well as the art of the Japanese Ukiyo-e masters, Almond has produced a series of nine large-scale paintings, each inscribed with abstracted numerical digits inlaid with precious metals and alloys – all pure conductors of light. The artist explains, “All works are multi-panelled canvases that hang on a grid format, the grid being the mathematical gateway to the abstract.

  • DARREN ALMOND in Temple Grounds November 16Th, 2019
    DARREN ALMOND In Temple Grounds November 16th, 2019 - January 4th, 2020 Alfonso Artiaco gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Darren Almond’s solo show, on Saturday, November 16th 2019, at 11.30 a.m., in the Artist’s presence. For his fifth exhibition (2005, 2007, 2010 and 2014) at the Alfonso Artiaco gallery, the British artist Darren Almond will present ‘In Temple Grounds’ an exhibition of new paintings and sculptures. These new works continue Almond’s preoccupation with a scaling of the infinite within the individual mind. The new multi-panelled works titled ‘Counter Paintings’ are informed by geometry and mathematics, landscapes and constellations. Arranged in a grid format, these polychrome panelled paintings present fragments of numbers which pattern rhythmically across the paintings’ surfaces seemingly caught in a permanent state of becoming. The grid structure provides the invariant against which other elements appear to be in the process of transformation, both fragments of numbers, and colours seem to wax and wane, appearing in varying degrees of wholeness. Almond’s compositional lexicon employs its structure from the way ‘Seishi’, vertical wooden posts, are used in Japanese Gardens. These ‘Seishi’ support the long limbs of ancient pine trees, enabling them to occupy regions and spaces otherwise beyond their reach. Operating at the intersection between figuration and abstraction, the painting's compositions echo not only the arrangement of forms, but also the negative spaces and passages experienced in Japanese temple gardens. Almond creates layered paintings, which possess highly sensitive and reflective surfaces. These layers are made up from drawing, painting and the application of metals such as copper, silver and gold, materials, which are conductors and transformers of energy.

  • Darren Almond / Carl Blechen
    Darren Almond / Carl Blechen Landscapes Bleibtreustraße 45, Berlin-Charlottenburg January 17 – February 28, 2015Opening: January 17, 6-8 pm We are pleased to present the exhibition Landscapes with works by Darren Almond and Carl Blechen at Bleibtreustraße 45. This exhibition includes a new group of Fullmoon photographs byAlmond and drawings and oil studies by Carl Blechen, loaned from the Akademie der Künste,Berlin. Carl Blechen is considered one of the major exponents of German Romanticism and a pioneer oflater artistic movements, such as Impressionism. During his short, fifteen-year career, he createdan impressive oeuvre of paintings, watercolours and drawings that are noted for their intense useof light and modern methods of representation. Blechen’s extraordinary use of light and shadowcreates an immediate, visible tension, dramatical shifting between the two – especially visible inthe sepia drawings – to form a unique dynamic. In this way, Blechen plays with the use andeffects of complementary contrasts, generating virtually entirely abstract pictorial spForaces. his new body of photographs, part of his Fullmoon series of works, Almond decided to visitthe sites and landscapes that Blechen portrayed at the beginning of the 19th century. Almond wasinspired, in particular, by Blechen's so-called Amalfi Sketchbook, which was created on a tripBlechen took between 1828 and 1829, when he travelled across the Alps to Italy visiting variouscities such as Verona, Florence, Rome, Naples and Amalfi. Almond in turn visited Amalfi and theAlps as well as Dresden, Potsdam and Cottbus, the town where Blechen was born. He photographed these places at night, under a full moon, using only natural light and a longexposure time, allowing details usually undetectable to the human eye to be revealed.

  • Darren Almond Fullmoon Presentasjon (Liten)
    FULLMOON@MILGIS DARREN ALMOND «HAPPY DAYS TO YOU ALL and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING US TO SAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL PART OF KENYA!!.. « Salaams, Helen When I first set foot in the MILGIS LUGGA, the huge dry river that divides the Ndoto and Lenkiyou mountain ranges, it captured me.. It was 1990… I was mesmerised by its wildness, its beauty, the danger, the grandness of this huge sandy lugga!! Helen Douglas-Dufresne, July, 2017 Dear Friends, We are thrilled to present six photographs by Darren Almond for sale to benefit the Milgis Trust. The proceeds will support the holistic approach by Milgis Trust to ensure sustainable development of the wildlife, habitat and the pastoral people’s way of life in Northern Kenya. Enjoy! Anna Catharina Astrup, Cecilie Malm Brundtland, Kristine Furuholmen og Anette Krosby The Story As long-term admirers of Darren Almond’s works our paths crossed again in 2011 when he donated a photo to a charity auction to benefit the Milgis Trust held at the Kistefos-Museet. Amazingly he supported the Milgis Trust again in 2015. Perhaps intrigued by the these projects he was willingly persuaded to travel to the Milgis area and extend his Fullmoon series to include photos in one of his more important photo series which he started in 1998. The 10-day journey in October 2017 to this very remote area of Northern Kenya made a profound impact on Darren. The series of six photographs is a result of hours of scouting during the day to find the perfect site for each of the images to be taken at night during fullmoon.

  • Press Release
    Crown Point Press FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Valerie Wade DARREN ALMOND: The Light of Time September 12 – November 30, 2018 Crown Point Press announces The Light of Time, an exhibition featuring etchings by British artist Darren Almond. Also on view are prints by John Cage, Sherrie Levine, Tom Marioni and Steve Reich, artists invited by Almond to "join the conversation." In 2018 Darren Almond, in his second residency at Crown Point Press, has created a photogravure portfolio titled Amalfi Sketchbook, and two sets of dramatic color aquatints. One set, Refractive Index, shows bright spheres against deep black fields, and the other, titled Foci, contains four images each showing a colorful streak against dense black. In the exhibition, the new work is joined by etchings Almond made in 2010 at Crown Point: a portfolio of black and white photogravures titled Civil Dawn and four photogravures in color titled Full Moon. A new video showing Darren Almond working in the Crown Point studio this past spring accompanies the exhibition, which extends until the end of November. At that time, the artist plans to travel to San Francisco to be present for a closing reception. Almond works in a variety of media (film, installation, sculpture and painting), but his themes remain the same: the exploration of the passage of time and the perception of memory. In the late 1990s he became widely known for his Full Moon series which is rich in lyrical atmosphere, with strong light and deep shadows. In 2014 Almond traveled to the Amalfi coast. He recalls the experience: “After an encounter with the work of the German romantic painter Carl Blechen …, I was drawn to Blechen’s approach to the depiction of light and how he was able to render the intensity of the Mediterranean sunlight.
