Summary:

Surveying 35 years of the South African artist's practice, this exhibition includes all 18 works from the Broad collection with loans from across the United States and South Africa. Curated by Ed Schad, the exhibition is organized both thematically and chronologically throughout the museum's first-floor galleries. A highlight of the exhibition is The Broad collection's 30-minute five-channel video and multimedia installation The Refusal of Time (2012).... In addition to drawings, sculptures, prints, and tapestries featured at The Broad, the artist's 11 Drawings for Projection films will be on view, as well as a series of films that reflect on early cinema, including 7 Fragments for Georges Méliès, Day for Night, and Journey to the Moon (all 2003), a suite of nine short films that feature the artist himself and celebrate the artist's studio as a site of experimentation and associative play. Many recent drawings will be shown that were created for his performance project The Head & the Load (2018), which unearths the neglected histories of Africans and Africa in World War I. Important early works rarely or never before seen in the United States--such as Domestic Scenes (1980) (54 etchings tied to Kentridge's work in theater) the Art in a State of Grace, Art in a State of Hope, Art in a State of Siege (all 1988)--show Kentridge's political engagement.
