William Kentridge Presents Recent Works in Milan Exhibition Through March 2026
Galleria Lia Rumma in Milan is hosting a solo exhibition by South African artist William Kentridge titled 'Sharpen Your Philosophy,' running until March 28, 2026. The show features a collection of recent works including dioramas, drawings, and sculptures. A key video installation, 'To Cross one more sea,' references a 1941 maritime journey by intellectuals Wilifredo Lam, André Breton, and Claude Lévi-Strauss fleeing Nazi persecution. Another animated video, 'Fugitive Words' from 2024, displays the artist's notebook process. The exhibition explores themes of migration, historical memory, and the creative role of error.
