To mark the release of his new album The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows, Damon Albarn is taking over our Eranda Studio with a special guest project revealing some of the source materials and inspiration behind the finished work.
Curated by Anna Sparham with TPG, the display will features unseen artwork, photography and film footage, plus a selection of Albarn’s own sketches and lyrics and offers rare insight into his creative process.
Please note: Access to this event is included when purchasing a general admission ticket £5/2.5 – labelled as Helen Cammock/Helen Levitt/Light Years at the point of sale. You do not have to purchase a separate ticket for this event.
