Source: the author. Many cities have rediscovered and reinvented their river fronts as public spaces in recent years. From New York to Seoul, urban waterways which were forgotten, marginalized, or outright abandoned are now filled with life. In each case the transformation was spurred by a combination of grass roots, bottom-up initiative and savvy government recognition of ISSN 2206-9658 | 139 City Space Architecture / UN-Habitat Art as a catalyst to activate public space the projects’ potentials. Once the city leaders embraced the projects - and not a moment sooner - public and private funding materialized and bureaucratic barriers disappeared. In Rome, whether due to the complexity of the chain of responsibility for the river front, or simply an ingrained aversion to progressive planning - saying no or saying nothing is much easier than taking responsibility for positive change - initiatives to renew the urban riverfront have been small and disconnected. Diverse interests ranging from green space to water transit, from river front commerce to ecological restoration, have all vied for a role in the river’s regeneration. But one particular discipline, that of art, has succeeded more than others in attracting international attention and changing the way people in Rome and throughout the (art) world see the Tiber.

    William Kentridge Thick Time 21 September - 15 January 2017 Large print labels and interpretation Gallery 1 1 Left of gallery door: William Kentridge Thick Time William Kentridge (b.1955) lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. This exhibition takes a journey through a series of environments he created between 2003 and 2016. His work spans drawing and printmaking, film, performance, dance, music, tapestry and sculpture. Kentridge’s expressionist drawings stand in a tradition of radical figuration from Francisco de Goya in the 19th century to Max Beckmann, George Grosz or Käthe Kollwitz in the early 20th century. His great skill as a draughtsman combines with his interest in early cinema and in theatre. (continues on next page) 2 The experience of studying radical mime and acting techniques at L’École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris and being part of an experimental theatre group in Johannesburg in the late 1970s and 1980s has been a major influence. Kentridge often collaborates with composers, dancers, musicians, puppeteers and designers; and has directed a number of operas. Six immersive installations are located over two floors of the museum. The themes in Kentridge’s work emerge from his experience of apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa and his reflections on colonialism and exile. The works also show his fascination with the utopian aspirations of early Modernism; the science and politics of time and space; the beauty and fragility of the natural world; and the nature of creativity. 3 Right side of gallery door: Untitled (Bicycle Wheel II) n/a 2012 Steel, timber, brass, aluminium, bicycle parts and found objects Courtesy William Kentridge; Marian Goodman Gallery (New York/Paris/London); Goodman Gallery (Johannesburga and Cape Town); Lia Rumma Gallery (Naples and Milan) 4 Left of gallery, clockwise: WILLIAM KENTRIDGE: THICK TIME This gallery presents three installations.

  • 10 Ways of Thinking Through Drawing
    Interpretive Resource 10 Ways of Thinking Through Drawing Written by Kylie Neagle, Education Officer and Thomas Readett, Tarnanthi Education Officer 1 10 Ways of Thinking Through Drawing Who is William Kentridge? Artist William Kentridge was born in 1955 in South Africa and currently lives and works in Johannesburg. His arts practice is diverse and includes drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, sculpture, tapestry, theatre and photography. Kentridge is best known for his animated charcoal drawings, where he erases and alters his images, photographing or filming the work in between each modification. The photographs and film are then combined to create a stop-motion animation. History and memory, its excavation and erasure, lies at the heart of Kentridge’s practice. Through a transformation of materials, he explores themes of colonisation and reference his experiences of the apartheid regime in South Africa, which was a system of racial segregation that existed from 1948 to the early 1990s. Spanning Kentridge’s thirty-year career, the works in this exhibition draw connections between the myriad aspects of his William Kentridge, South Africa, born 1955, The Hope in the Charcoal Cloud, 2014, Johannesburg, charcoal, coloured pencil, Indian ink, digital print, and watercolour on pages of Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 160.0 x 120.0 cm; practice, infused with narratives, the absurd, terror and drama.
