I am not me, the horse is not mine
William Kentridge began his artistic career at the height of the political struggle against the apartheid regime in his native South Africa. His work bears witness to a profound commitment – at once social, political and poetic – that continues to shape his artistic practice to this day.
Kentridge’s artistic output ranges from drawings, animated films and sculptures to prints, installations and videos. These works often emerge while he is directing a theatre or opera production, another field to which he devotes his energies. I am not me, the horse is not mine, William Kentridge’s solo exhibition at Bozar, offers a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre from the early 1980s to the present day. Several of his major stage productions receive special attention. The exhibition highlights the performative and collaborative nature of Kentridge’s practice, in which he allows art to evolve into a space for political inquiry, historical reckoning and poetic transformation.
William Kentridge takes over one of Bozar’s major exhibition spaces, creates site-specific works, and curates a rich multidisciplinary programme. This is by no means the first time we have welcomed Kentridge to Brussels. He has a long-standing connection with the city, where he premiered his first opera (Faustus in Africa!, 1995), and where he held his first solo exhibition in Europe at Bozar in 1998.
A ticket for the exhibitions of William Kentridge, Jean Brusselmans, Edith Dekyndt x Cristóbal Balenciaga or Central. Never Alone gives you free access to the exhibition House of Memory / بيت الذاكرة by Basil Al-Rawi on the same day.
