William Kentridge - ‘Art Must Defend the Uncertain’ | Artist Interview | TateShots

[@lolilo2759]

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.

[@rabahelaawar2499]

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!

[@murderballad1154]

genuinely enjoyed this. no ego or delusions of grandeur, just a nice honest artist.

[@morrisalexander9363]

He is white for apartheid

[@HungerSymons]

@@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!!!!

[@тоска-р1о]

@@morrisalexander9363okay?? how can he change that. lol. you sound racist. he didnt have a choice in being white or his birthplace

[@cape33town]

As a South African artist, I shed tears as William explained why he must remain in the chaotic South! He still has roots, where for so many of us transplants our roots have been chopped off, and stuggle to reroot in a foreign culture. What an inspiration to keep growing!

[@vandolmatzis8146]

Proud to have you in our country,you are an inspiration,an original thinker. Thank you

[@artmeditationvista1526]

Love these interviews with accomplished artists... really helps me develop a sense of my own creativity. Thanks so much for sharing!

Love this!!

[@atoms-to-atoms]

...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.

[@seencapone]

How the hell does he keep his white shirts so clean working in charcoal?

[@DerekGripperGuitar]

He wears white because it’s the easiest colour to clean charcoal off. I also wondered so I asked:)

[@gracie99999]

it was actually black

[@bonnyvondolores2647]

for the camera

[@willylewis1]

Wonderful drawings. Articulate and unpretentious words. A marvellous video. Thank you.

[@marshhen]

Incredible teaching resource this video. Thank you.

[@taku3731]

Though I am Japanese, I also grew up in Johannesburg... so I am interested in his art.

[@user-hujuser1]

Watch his film Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot/ I love his way to think and his embodiement!

[@sagoeizart7841]

Woow, am inspired Sir 🙏🙏🙏

[@dntskdnttll]

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?

[@caroldelaney4700]

Very interesting and informative video.

[@concernedhuman4559]

Lovely.

[@fcratin3216]

If just one artist I could someday observe........

[@Xxxxxrrr6464]

This resonates with me thank you Cool

[@noamsteinerman]

amazing 🥰

[@hattorihanzo8385]

If you like the artistic style of William Kentridge, then you will also like the art of Sun Xun and Raymond Pettibon. 👍

[@atoms-to-atoms]

Sun Xun and Raymond Pettibon...they are more like illustrators...William is conceptually stronger and probably more contextualized...He very seldom paints.
