William Kentridge: More Sweetly play the Dance

William Kentridge: More Sweetly play the Dance

William Kentridge’s More Sweetly Play the Dance, 2015, opens with a presentiment of the procession, not its presence: the Dance of Death. Across eight screens, the non-landscape around Johannesburg - grass, tracks, culverts, pipes, and power lines - at first appears flat and uneventful amid a threnody of wailing and drumming. Johannesburg suffers from a lack of geography, but it has all the forebodings of allegory, the mise-en-scène of myth.

Tomas Saraceno: Cosmic Jives - The Spider Session

The exhibition Cosmic Jive: the Spider Sessions weaved together the different spaces of Villa Croce, in Genova. The first floor featured an interactive sound installation activated by the visitors’ movement, creating a series of acoustic responses picked up by passive motion sensors installed in the rooms. Depending on their location in the museum, visitors heard different sound compositions. The speakers to the left side of the rooms emitted the sounds of the semi-social spiders playing on pre-existing solitary webs.

Just Air for Making Art: Tomàs Saraceno

How do you recognize a true artist? He creates an entire universe that is unique and powerful. He dreams and turns his dreams into tangible objects that make you dream. Among the abundant projects of uneven quality realized on the occasion of Paris’s COP21 climate conference, under the ultra mediatized patronage of the United Nations, I saw two works by two substantial artists who are both, each in his own genre, international contemporary art stars.

Tomás Saraceno: Cloud City (Ville Nuage)

Tomás Saraceno: Cloud City (Ville Nuage)

Cloud City refers to how it feels to float in the air, condensing the gap between our perception and experience of the ocean of air at the bottom of which we dwell. When it comes to buoyancy – the tendency or capacity to remain afloat in a liquid or rise in air or gas – or more precisely to experience buoyancy the sensible dimension seems to override the scientific thermodynamical and physical explanations or implications. This exhibition took place in Belfort in 2012.

William Kentridge: Other Faces

Other Faces by William Kentridge sees the return of Soho Eckstein, a character from previous films who is a Caucasian industrialist and land developer living in post-apartheid South Africa. Eckstein’s story in Other Faces begins when he is involved in a car accident with a black preacher in front of a black African church in downtown Johannesburg. Soon it becomes apparent that the argument between the two men is more a reflection of their fractured understanding of their country’s past rather than the actual incident.

William Kentridge: Journey to the Moon

The short film Journey to the Moon (2003) offers an intimate look into Kentridge’s production process. It explores the studio space as a site of performance.
