William Kentridge Prints
David Krut Projects is pleased to present William Kentridge Prints, 1992-2013: Published by David Krut featuring a selection of etchings and linocuts. This exhibition celebrates twenty-one years of collaboration and coincides with the return of Kentridge鈥檚 highly acclaimed theater production of Shostakovich鈥檚 The Nose at The Metropolitan Opera.
Printmaking is central to Kentridge鈥檚 oeuvre, and essential as a component of his working process, rooted in mark-making and experiment. He uses the plate as a site for mark accumulation, relishing the malleability of the material - the scratching, scraping and burnishing, working and reworking - which enables the capture of 鈥榯hought鈥�, and parallels the process used in his frame-by-frame filmmaking.
At the center of this exhibition is The Nose, a suite of thirty prints created between 2007 and 2009, in preparation for the production鈥檚 premier at the Metropolitan Opera in 2010. Also included as tangential to his time-based productions are Zeno Writing (2002), a set of nine photogravures created while working on his short animated film of the same name, and The Magic Flute Portfolio (2007) a suite of four engravings that reference themes from the artist鈥檚 acclaimed production of the Mozart opera which debuted in 2005 at Le Th茅atre Royal de la Monnaie, Brussels.
