"Darren Almond"
2001-06-16 until 2001-08-12
De Appel
Amsterdam, , NL

From 16 June through 12 August 2001, De Appel will devote a solo presentation to Darren Almond, a young artist who works with video, sculpture and real-time works. Almond's investigation of time, space and the body seems to be based on a single underlying theme: the instrumentalized human subject. Apart from new work, Darren Almond will present 'Oswiecim' (1997): a sculpture consisting of replicas of the bus stops near the Auschwitz concentration camp, which bear witness to waiting, being transported, working, getting injured, extermination and commemoration. Traction' (1998/1999) is a video triptych about his parents in which the mother is the silent but emotional witness of the injuries sustained by the father, whose work as a building demolisher is attested by the scars on his body.
