Comment

The exhibition William Kentridge offers a retrospective of the artist’s entire body of work, with particular emphasis on his latest pieces. It includes more than 70 works: drawings, animated films and sculptures. Noteworthy among the major works on view are Felix in Exile (1994); the video/dresser installation Sleeping on Glass (1999); Shadow Procession (2000), made from cut-outs of black paper; Procession (2002), a series of 26 bronze sculptures; Medicine Chest (2001); Zeno Writing (2002); Fragments for Georges Méliès (2003) and Tide Table (2003). Kentridge’s earlier films produced since 1989 will also be screened in the Famille Guy Angers et Rougier Inc. Video Gallery. A new installation, conceived as a sort of archive room, presents old and new drawings related to various films, such as Mine (1991) and History of the Main Complaint (1996), along with prints and other objects created by the artist.(Source:Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal)
