WILLIAM KENTRIDGE  

February 19 - April 9, 2005

The work of South African artist William Kentridge has since the 1970s traced the trajectory which meshes the personal and political in an innovative use of printmaking, drawing, animation, film and theatre. Its allegiance is to unanswered questions and unfinished business rather than neat solutions.

Kentridge constructs his films using a technique he has terme’stone-age filmmaking’,a process of successive alteration, erasure, overdrawing, seeing his artistic production, wether films, theatre, or printmaking as rooted in the activity of drawing.

For his first solo-exhibition in Luxemburg at beaumontpublic, the gallery’s aim is to show works in relation to the opera “Majic Flute”, the series “Thinking aloud” or imagery extracted from various media by the artist for his filmproduction.

“Majic Flute” will have the premiere in Brussesl, Opera de la Monnai, April 28.2005
