黑料不打烊

David Krut Projects, Johannesburg is pleased to present a new series of gravure editions by William Kentridge, produced in collaboration with the David Krut Workshop (DKW) in South Africa and Jillian Ross Print (JRP) in Canada.

This exhibition presents two bodies of work created through the gravure process. Studio Life is a series of twelve photogravures, featuring the artist at work in his studio, created over two years. The second series resonates with images in Kentridge鈥檚 current exhibition at The Royal Academy in London, where he is recognized as an Honorary Royal Academician. The works presented in this exhibition have been developed as part of a longdistance collaboration with the David Krut Workshop and Jillian Ross to create a body of work that defies geographical limitations.

William Kentridge鈥檚 first collaboration with David Krut was in 1992 and the artist / publisher relationship has continued for thirty years with various master printers at print workshops around the world. David Krut Workshop was established in Johannesburg in 2002, and Jillian Ross joined the workshop in 2003, directing its activities alongside David Krut for seventeen years. During this time, Ross formed a close relationship with William Kentridge as his primary collaborating printer on largescale print projects. Following Ross鈥� relocation to Canada in early 2020, this exhibition is a culmination of this long-term association between Kentridge, Krut, Ross and their supporting teams, recently reimagined in a transcontinental way.
