Art:21 | William Kentridge | Season 5 Preview (October 2009)
Loading...
Uploaded by art21org on Jul 1, 2009
This video is excerpted from the Season 5 episode "Compassion," premiering on Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 10pm (ET) on PBS (check local listings).
"Compassion" features three artists -- William Kentridge, Doris Salcedo, and Carrie Mae Weems -- whose works explore conscience and the possibility of understanding and reconciling past and present, while exposing injustice and expressing tolerance for others.
Having witnessed first-hand one of the twentieth century's most contentious struggles -- the dissolution of apartheid -- William Kentridge brings the ambiguity and subtlety of personal experience to public subjects most often framed in narrowly defined terms. Using film, drawing, sculpture, animation, and performance, he transmutes sobering political events into powerful poetic allegories.

but isn't true that this kind of deformation is already known to the mathematicians who can give one the formulae that maps the images from the plane to the mirror and vice versa??

Kentridge is inspirational and non judgemental in how he approaches the social landscape of his history. I simply love his direct approach in drawing and application into film.

William Kentridge is God! He just makes me want to draw. He is such a kind and gracious man also given his history.
