This Saturday marks the opening of a major new Kentridge exhibition at London’s Royal Academy. In our new issue, you can read an interview with the celebrated South African artist by writer Nkgopoleng Moloi, who visited Kentridge in his “vast” Johannesburg studio, along with photographer Carl van der Linde, for the purpose. In the feature, Kentridge sheds light on the balance of chaos and precision in his work, which spans everything from drawing, sculpture, collage and film to sculpture, theatre and opera, dance, and often draws on South Africa’s violent past. (This is one of Kentridge’s typicallly fluid and characterful designs for a 2010 production of Shostakovich’s opera The Nose, in which a man wakes up to find his nose missing.) Purchase the Issue 48 here.
