Darren Almond

Published in February 2018, following Darren Almond's exhibition “Timescape” at Mudam, Luxembourg, from February 11 to May 14, 2017. English edition. Art edition with 56 pages Book (color ill., inserts) + clear vinyl LP + booklet. This catalogue is a visual journey through the artist's show at Mudam Luxembourg. It centers on Almond's series of cosmos-inspired abstract paintings Timescape. Produced in conjunction with the publication, the record All Things Pass highlights the musical dimension of the artist's eponymous video installation. The soundtrack embodies both the tradition of music in Northern India and an experimental approach, expressing links between cosmic and human existence.
On the one hand, the record accompanied by a booklet, focuses exclusively on Almond's work All Things Pass, a video installation combining several temporalities whose central subject is Chand Baori, a ninth century stepwell located in Rajasthan. The composition, produced by a group of four Indian musicians, reveals close relations between the images and the very notion of rãga, at the heart of Indian music.
On the other hand, the publication presents an interview between Almond and the curator of the exhibition Christophe Gallois as well as exhibition views, showing the singularity of each artwork and, most of all, highlighting the artist's recent series Timescape, abstract paintings inspired by representations of the cosmos.
recorded with musicians Fateh Ali, Ghulam Gouse, Roop Singh, and Zakir Hussain.
