Renowned South African artist, William Kentridge, shares new work
inspired during the writing of his Norton Lectures delivered at
Harvard in 2012. In this expanding series, a familiar personal
iconography is revisited – coffee pots, typewriters, cats, trees --
objects representing an intimate thematic repertoire appearing in art
and stage productions throughout the artist’s career. Meticulously
based on ink sketches, over 75 linocut prints shift from identifiable
subject matter to deconstructed images of abstract marks on dictionary
and encyclopedia pages, forming juxtapositions that suggest skepticism
about the creative process and knowledge construction._William
Kentridge: Universal Archive is organized for tour by the Gund Gallery
at Kenyon College and is made possible, in part, by contributions from
Alva Greenberg ’74, the Gund Gallery Board of Directors and Ohio
Arts Council._
Gallery Hours: Mon. by appointment, Tues-Fri. 9am-5pm, Sat. 10am-4pm
_Lamont Gallery programs are supported in part by the Michael C.
Rockefeller ’56 Visiting Artists Fund. _
