An Art Gallery of NSW Travelling Exhibition opens at Gosford Regional Gallery this weekend and remains until August 27.
William Kentridge is described as “one of the most powerful voices in art today”.
He emerged as an artist during the apartheid regime in South Africa.
Grounded in the violent absurdity of that period in his country’s history, his artworks draw connections between art, ideology, history and memory.
Kentridge’s practice reveals the ways in which ideas and images echo across time and between different cultures.
His eight-channel video work I am not me, the horse is not mine is among the artist’s most ambitious moving image works and arguably the most significant work by the artist in an Australian state institution collection.
It premiered at the Biennale of Sydney in 2008 and was gifted to the Art Gallery of New South Wales by Anita and Luca Belgiorno-Nettis in 2017.
The work was donated to the gallery through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program.
Gallery members can attend the official opening on 16 June 2023, 6pm, RSVP to the opening via trybooking www.trybooking.com/CEZES
The exhibition runs from 17 June – 27 August 2023.
There will be a free curator floor talk with Art Gallery of NSW curator, Nicholas Chambers, on Saturday 17 June at 11am.
