William Kentridge: (REPEAT) from the beginning 12 December 2008 – 17 January 2009
GOODMAN GALLERY CAPE 3rd Floor Fairweather House, 176 Sir Lowry Road Woodstock, Cape Town
In his first solo exhibition in Cape Town since his celebrated retrospective at Iziko South African National Gallery in 2002, William Kentridge shows a new body of projections, sculptures, drawings and prints at Goodman Gallery Cape. Commissioned to produce a new video for the fire screen of Teatro La Fenice in Venice, Kentridge has developed an extraordinary method of drawing in three dimensions where the image, once set in motion, coalesces into sculptural form.
