On the occasion of his 70th birthday, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and the Museum Folkwang in Essen are dedicating a major double exhibition to William Kentridge, who works in an interdisciplinary manner. Works from four decades will be shown: early graphic series on apartheid and its end, but also drawings and films from the famous series "Drawings for Projection" (1989-2020), in which Kentridge addresses the history of his hometown of Johannesburg. The importance of the procession in his work is reflected in the monumental video installation "More Sweetly play the Dance" (2015) and the large-format woodcut series "Triumphs and Laments" (2016-2019).

Particularly important in Kentridge's work is his artistic examination of colonialism, but also of social utopias and their failure using the example of Soviet socialism. Recent works from the context of ?The Great Yes, The Great No? (2024), a chamber opera created in cooperation with the ?Centre for the Less Good Idea? in Johannesburg, founded by Kentridge, once again show the enormous artistic range of his artistic work.

在威廉·肯特里奇70岁生日之际，德累斯顿国家艺术收藏馆与埃森的福尔克旺博物馆将联合为这位跨学科创作的艺术家举办一场大型双展。此次展览将呈现他四十年来的作品，包括早期关于种族隔离及其终结的版画系列，以及著名的《投影绘画》系列（1989-2020）中的素描与电影作品——在该系列中，肯特里奇探讨了其家乡约翰内斯堡的历史。他作品中游行这一元素的重要性，体现在大型视频装置《让舞蹈更甜美地绽放》（2015）和大幅木刻系列《胜利与哀悼》（2016-2019）中。

肯特里奇的艺术创作中，尤为重要的是他对殖民主义的艺术思考，以及以苏联社会主义为例对社会乌托邦及其幻灭的探讨。近期作品源自《伟大的肯定，伟大的否定》（2024）这一室内歌剧——该歌剧是他与自己创办的约翰内斯堡“不那么好的主意中心”合作创作的，这些作品再次展现了他艺术创作中极为广阔的艺术视野。
