In this episode you’ll hear from Dr. Stephen Clingman, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the author of the exhibition catalogue for the exhibition William Kentridge at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. During his time in Taipei, Clingman also gave a keynote speech “The World as Animation: William Kentridge’s Art of the Boundary.” We will dive deeper into the works and stories of the South African artist William Kentridge together, including his use of charcoal, approaches to animation, and how the apartheid and post-apartheid era shaped his work. Let’s get started.

Stay tuned for part 2 coming up next week.
