- William Kentridge’s studio in Johannesburg is a ‘vital physical and psychic space’ where he conceives and develops his ambitious projects and artworks.
William Kentridge is a South African artist best known for his prints, drawings, and animated films which are usually developed from charcoal drawings and sketches.
In this film he talks about how flexible charcoal is and how you can change the composition ‘as quickly as you can change your mind’. He also shows us around his studio where ideas conceived as drawings become animations, performances, and installations.

03:05 “The idea of being an artist is that all the different mediums are open to you in which to explore the world. Which is to say to explore your relationship to the world as an artist.”
Beautifully said, wow.
genuinely enjoyed this. no ego or delusions of grandeur, just a nice honest artist.
He is white for apartheid
@@morrisalexander9363 like all of his work is him reckoning with apartheid so
William Kentridge - ‘Art Must Defend the Uncertain’ | Artist Interview | TateShots 0957am 2.5.23 ubu tells the truth. hahahah... like it. for all his failings he told you how it was and still is!!!!
@@morrisalexander9363okay?? how can he change that. lol. you sound racist. he didnt have a choice in being white or his birthplace
Wow... He allows you to dwelve into his mind in each of his pieces. The way he explains his art and his artistic approach is also far more profound than one could see from an ordinary observation of his work. We are indeed blessed to have an artist like him. Thank you, William Kentridge!
...the richest people on the planet are artist, and few are richer than William...I was in Rome when he was removing grime off the canal walls and creating large silhouettes ...I realised the depth of his exploration...massive influence...One of the few intellectually honest contemporary artists.
Proud to have you in our country,you are an inspiration,an original thinker. Thank you
Love these interviews with accomplished artists... really helps me develop a sense of my own creativity. Thanks so much for sharing!
Same! Really puts in me the mood to make work.
@@carolinemanuel5996 you are afrikaner?
How the hell does he keep his white shirts so clean working in charcoal?
He wears white because it’s the easiest colour to clean charcoal off. I also wondered so I asked:)
it was actually black
for the camera
Incredible teaching resource this video. Thank you.
Though I am Japanese, I also grew up in Johannesburg... so I am interested in his art.
Wonderful drawings. Articulate and unpretentious words. A marvellous video. Thank you.
Lovely.
Woow, am inspired Sir 🙏🙏🙏
Would be interesting to know more about the kind of work that goes on in what appears to be a shared studio in town, who comes and goes and what they are creating there. A lot of enthusiastic younger people participating, it appears, but no comment from them in this video?
Very interesting and informative video.
If just one artist I could someday observe........
amazing 🥰
This resonates with me thank you
Cool
trop genial
If you like the artistic style of William Kentridge, then you will also like the art of Sun Xun and Raymond Pettibon. 👍
Sun Xun and Raymond Pettibon...they are more like illustrators...William is conceptually stronger and probably more contextualized...He very seldom paints.
Okay. That part he wiped at the beginning probably costs like 1500 USD haha.
um i could use that!
His doppelganger is John Lovitz.
Somebody can tell me which is the name of the song of background ??
“Before I Die I want to I have to Go the moon.” 3:58
Finally saw a Kentridge at the Zeits MOCAA
You are afrikaner
@@morrisalexander9363 You are incorrect. But I can speak Afrikaans and I am African.
eyebrows
Edit: love the video

Oh i can tell you a Story
Can art be talked about? I like to listen to Agnes Martin
Background music while people are talking == fail.

He is white for apartheid
All "intellect" no Substance! As usual with Contemporary Artists.
