Description: Thirty - five years of South African artist William Kentridge's dynamic cross - genre art with essays by Ann Mc Coy Zakes Mda and Ed Schad a conversation between the artist and Walter Murch and an unpublished lecture by Kentridge. This far - reaching book presents Kentridge's dynamic art practice which originates in charcoal drawing and expands into intersections with film sculpture opera and theater performances printmaking and many other mediums. The volume is organized chronologically and thematically emphasizing Kentridge's destabilizing of South African and global narratives through openness to uncertainty the generative power of the artist's studio and perpetual change all as conditions for illuminating repressed and silenced voices in historical records. An essay by curator Ed Schad is presented along with studio photography archival material and illuminating illustrations of Kentridge's work joining essays by globally recognized literary figures and thinkers Zakes Mda and Ann Mc Coy. Notably the volume features a conversation between Kentridge and the famous film and sound editor Walter Murch as well as a never - before - published lecture by the artist.
