| Tóm tắt: | "What does it mean to render the processes of making art--cutting, pasting, and projecting light--as a series of metaphors for how we think and how we live? And why would an artist embark on such an enterprise? This book considers how renowned artist William Kentridge spins the material operations of the studio into a web of politically astute and historically grounded metaphors, likening erasure to forgetting, comparing animation to the flux of history, and marshaling drawing as a form of nonlinear argument. Placing Kentridge's visual vocabulary and unorthodox methods of production in the context of South Africa's histories of change, Leora Maltz-Leca explores studio process in all of its metaphoric and philosophical dimensions"--Provided by publisher Introduction : on the southern tip of Africa -- Process as metaphor : the metaphorics of erasure -- History as process : theaters of politics and Hegel in Africa -- Process/procession : a process of change -- Drawing up, drawing out : drawing as thinking -- Projection : the most promiscuous of metaphors -- Being contemporary up south : world time and other doubtful enterprises |
