William Kentridge speaks with Mwenya Kabwe on the occasion of ‘What Have They Done with All the Air?’, an exhibition of new drawings and sculptures at Goodman Gallery Cape Town.
The exhibition will debut a set of new hand-painted, aluminium and steel sculptures in vivid colour. The origin of these sculptures are a series of small paper sculptures, made from the torn and coloured pages of a 19th century accounting journal from the Chiesa di San Francesco Saverio in Palermo. Though not directly related to ‘The Great Yes, The Great No’, this ‘Paper Procession’ speaks to the process of costume-making. During periods of intensive workshops in the making of a theatre production, Kentridge and his collaborators work with paper as a way to think about costumes, and their colours.
Filmed live at Goodman Gallery Cape Town on 25th November 2023.
