William Kentridge: Listening to the Image -- Neubauer Collegium Inaugural Lecture at the UChicago

[@emre28oz79]

I really like the films, it's almost like giving a confronting therapy to our collective human mind, saying we are part of this material universe but we are not it. Great work, speech, many thanks to the artist for all humans beings.

Act 4, disarmed Kendridge enlights minds 🙏🏻

Wonderful...thank you for sharing. William Kentridge is assessable, whereas John Gage wasn't.

Kentridge is a truly wonderful artist but this is middlebrow culture at its most emotionally and philosophically reductive, there is pretty well no known attempt at setting this music to images that does not inevitably end up with a cheap remake of Disney's Fantasia.
