Timeline

1971

Darren James Almond (born August 1971, Appley Bridge, Lancashire) is an English artist, based in London.

1993

Almond graduated from Winchester School of Art in 1993, with a BA (hons) degree in Fine Arts.

He works in a variety of media including photography and film, which he uses to explore the effects of time on the individual.

He uses "sculpture, film and photography to produce work that harnesses the symbolic and emotional potential of objects, places and situations, producing works which have universal as well as personal resonances".

1995

In 1995, Almond had his first solo exhibition in London, showing a single work, KN120, which consisted of a large ceiling fan installed under London's Westway and wired to his studio.

A Real Time Piece (1995), was a live video link that showed his studio, empty but for an industrial flip-clock on the wall that amplified the passing of each minute.

Among Almond's other early works is a series of nameplates in cast aluminium, made in imitation of the plaques on British 125 inter-city trains.

The film Schwebebahn (1995) features the Sky Train, Wuppertal's public transport system; over three days, Almond journeyed from the beginning of the line to its end and back again, filming inside and outside of the train in one long unedited take.

Almond's first one-person exhibition was in 1995 at Great Western Studios, London.

1997

In 1997 he had an exhibition at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts.

In 1997, aged 26, he was the youngest YBA included in Charles Saatchi's Sensation show where he showed two works, A Bigger Clock and Fan, featuring objects, an oversized wall mountable flip clock and an equally out of proportion ceiling fan.

1998

Since 1998, he has taken a series of photographs on nights with a full moon, using extended exposure times of fifteen minutes or longer.

The Fullmoon series began as a way of navigating the places of traditional landscape painters, e.g. with a shot of Mount Saint Victoire in Provence that had been the subject of many of Cézanne's paintings, but has evolved over time to include other remote locations.

1999

For Six Months Later (1999), Almond repeatedly photographed at very precise times an identical location of his studio throughout a set period of time.

Each shot features Almond's desk and chair, a window, two fans and a wall mounted flip clock.

Each and every photograph is identical with the only variations being the amount of light that permeates the space and the time displayed on the clock.

His subsequent solo exhibitions include those at The Renaissance Society, Chicago (1999); De Appel, Amsterdam, (2001); Kunsthalle Zürich, Switzerland (2001); Tate Britain, London (2001); K21 Düsseldorf, Germany (2005); Museum Folkwang, Essen (2006); SITE Santa Fe, New Mexico (2007); Parasol Unit, London (2008); and Darren Almond: The Principle of Moments, White Cube Gallery, London (2010).

2000

Meantime (2000) comprised a shipping container the artist had transformed into a functioning digital clock and filmed as it traveled across the Atlantic.

It has been said to be an atypical performance in a typical sculpture (assisted readymade) in a time-framed installation.

2001

The film installation Mine (2001) was shot in Karaganda, Kazakhstan.

In this two-part work, one projection was shot in colour and shows the miners in their locker room changing for work.

The camera is stationary and the miners come and go.

The second projection shows the view of the tunnel, in black and white, shot from the train that descends into the passages of the mine, in effect what is awaiting the miners when they are finished dressing for work.

His series Infinite Betweens consists of photographs that were taken in Tibet, where traditional prayer flags are hung in trails across the mountain ridges as a way to make offerings of thanks and prayers.

The flags accumulate and become scattered over one of the highest and most exposed landscapes on earth.

As with the Fullmoon photographs, Almond made use of moonlight and long exposures to shoot Infinite Betweens, preserving the movement of the flags and confronting the viewer with impossible perspectives, different focal points and a feeling of being within the picture.

He has also participated in the Berlin Biennale, Germany (2001); Venice Biennale, Italy (2003); Busan Biennale, South Korea (2004); The Turner Prize, Tate Britain, London (2005); Moscow Biennale, Russia (2007); and The Tate Triennial, Tate Britain, London (2009).

The work of Darren almond is a part of important public and private collections of international contemporary art, such as:

2005

He was nominated for the 2005 Turner Prize.

Notably, Almond was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2005, where he exhibited the four-screen video installation If I Had You (2003) about his grandmother – "a portrait of youthful reminiscence and the dignity of old age" In 1996, Almond was awarded the Art & Innovation Prize by the Institute of Contemporary Art, London, followed by his solo exhibition at White Cube, London in 1997.

2006

These photographs developed out of Almond's film In the Between (2006), a 3-channel HD video with audio that examines the new high speed train that connects China with Tibet, a reinforcement of Chinese dominance.

The title of these works refers to the Buddhist vision of relativity of all beings and things, the idea that we always occupy an 'in-between' state that is never ending and infinite.

2010

In Sometimes Still (2010), Almond follows a Tendai monk as he engages with the Buddhist process of Kaihōgyō, the feat of physical and mental endurance by which these monks attempt to reach a state of Buddhahood.

2011

In 2011, Almond was commissioned with a photographic installation and lightbox panels for the Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
