SUMMARY:WILLIAM KENTRIDGE | DRAWINGS IN MOTION
DESCRIPTION:This presentation of two short films\, made some twenty years apart\, offers a window into the creative processes of celebrated South African artist William Kentridge.  \nJourney to the Moon (2003) is a playful response to the 1902 Georges Méliès film Le Voyage dans la Lune. It follows Kentridge (and his coffee cup) from the studio into his own drawn world. His new film Fugitive Words (2024)\, which will have its first UK presentation at CAST\, unfolds entirely within the pages of one of Kentridge’s notebooks. A process of drawing and erasure produces fleeting words and shifting images that combine to form an evolving landscape of history and memory. \n9 July to 30 August\nWednesday to Friday\, 10am – 4pm\nSaturday\, 10am – 8pm\nFree admission\, all welcome \nFilm still Fugitive Words (2024) © William Kentridge.
