WILLIAM KENTRIDGE | DRAWINGS IN MOTION
Advertisement
This presentation of two short films, made some twenty years apart, offers a window into the creative processes of celebrated South African artist William Kentridge.
Journey to the Moon (2003) is a playful response to the 1902 Georges Méliès film Le Voyage dans la Lune. It follows Kentridge (and his coffee cup) from the studio into his own drawn world. His new film Fugitive Words (2024), which will have its first UK presentation at CAST, unfolds entirely within the pages of one of Kentridge’s notebooks. A process of drawing and erasure produces fleeting words and shifting images that combine to form an evolving landscape of history and memory.
9 July to 30 August
Wednesday to Friday, 10am - 4pm
Saturday, 10am - 8pm
Free admission, all welcome
