Melancholic Constellations: The Art of William Kentridge

Saturday 4th December, 3.45pm
Sallis Benney Theatre

Dir: Ian McDonald with research and interviews by Tom Hickey. UK 2010. 52 mins

A documentary exploring the internationally acclaimed artist William Kentridge, who talks about art-making during Apartheid and in “post Anti-Apartheid” South Africa while preparing for his next major work, The Nose.  A range of artists and academics from Johannesburg comment on his art and his position as a global artist. The film moves between Johannesburg where Kentridge lives and works and his 2007 exhibition at the University of Brighton. Carried forward by the evocative music of Kentridge’s collaborator Philip Miller, the film prompts us to think about the relationship between identities, politics and art.   

Screening introduced by Professor Bruce Brown, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research at the University of Brighton. Followed by Q&A.
