One of the most powerful voices in art today!
William Kentridge emerged as an artist during the apartheid regime in South Africa. Grounded in the violent absurdity of that period in his country’s history, his artworks draw connections between art, ideology, history and memory. Kentridge’s practice reveals the ways in which ideas and images echo across time and between different cultures.
Developed out of research for Kentridge’s production of Dimitri Shostakovich’s 1928 opera The nose, it incorporates stop-motion animation, live action, archival video, and a soundtrack by acclaimed South African composer Philip Miller. The large-scale, eight-screen video installation creates a deeply immersive experience.
You can see this exhibition for FREE at the Tamworth Regional Gallery from 7 September – 3 November, 2024.
This project is proudly supported by the NSW Government through the Create NSW Blockbusters Funding initiative.
