Description

WILLIAM KENTRIDGE (born 1956 Johannesburg) has emerged over the last fifteen years as one of the most influential artists and thinkers in the world. In March and April this year, William Kentridge is delivering the Norton Lectures at Harvard. The opera The Nose by Shotakovich based on a short story by Gogol that he directed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York premiered to huge acclaim in February 2011. His new theatre based piece “The Refusal of Time” will be featured at Documenta XIII, arguably the most significant exhibition in the contemporary artworld held every five years in Kassel Germany this June. His retrospective exhibition WILLIAM KENTRIDGE; FIVE THEMES opens March 7th at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI).

The Annandale exhibition UNIVERSAL ARCHIVE (Parts 7 – 23) is a comprehensive exhibition of new work encompassing all 250 metres of exhibition space at Annandale Galleries. Three films will be on show including one already sold to the National gallery of Australia, Other Faces.
