Two simultaneous retrospectives of William Kentridge’s sculptures and drawings at Zeitz MOCAA and Norval Foundation in Cape Town offer a rare chance to explore the acclaimed artist’s oeuvre
Trying to keep up with William Kentridge can become fatiguing, especially for those of us born later than his early success. With his vast body of work and an endless list of exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world, it’s a lot of time to catch up on. This is the reason why there’s so much excitement about the artist’s upcoming retrospectives in Cape Town.
From 24 August to 23 March 2020, an unprecedented selection of Kentridge’s work from the past 40 years will be on show at the prestigious Zeitz MOCAA and Norval Foundation, in what Zeitz MOCAA describes as ‘the largest exhibition to be held in Africa in over a decade’.
At the gallery in the Silo District, visitors will get to experience the artist’s drawings, stop-frame animations, videos, prints, sculptures, tapestries and installations in the exhibition Why Should I Hesitate: Putting Drawings to Work. Further afield in Tokai, Norval Foundation will host Why Should I Hesitate: Sculpture – the first-ever exhibition that will consist solely of Kentridge’s sculptures.
