William Kentridge

Museum of Contemporary Art MCA, Chicago

The MCA is co-organizing South African artist William Kentridge's first survey exhibition in the United States.
Kentridge is internationally-renowned for his animated films, drawings, and theater productions that focus on the complex and often violent history of his native South Africa and consider the effect its past will have on its future.
This major exhibition will present eleven of Kentridge's powerful short animated films or "drawings for projection," the majority of which chronicle the ongoing narrative of two characters struggling within the apartheid and post-apartheid landscapes.
A new film will premiere with the opening of this exhibition. Approximately fifty large-scale charcoal drawings utilized in the making of the films will be shown alongside the projections in addition to a selection of related earlier graphic works.

The exhibition is co-organized by the MCA Chicago; the New Museum, New York; and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and is co-curated by Staci Boris, MCA Associate Curator; Dan Cameron, Senior Curator at the New Museum; and Neal Benezra, Assistant Director for Art and Public Programs at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
The exhibition opens February, 2001 at the Hirshhorn Museum; May 2001 at the New Museum; and October 2001 at the MCA.
It will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue.
