INVESTEC CAPE TOWN ART FAIR

At 4.00 pm on Christmas eve, one hour before he left for the airport, William Kentridge signed the Trial proof of Dada Picnic.

This collaboration was a privilege and testimony of William Kentridge fulfilling a commitment to APS to make a new work for the Cape Town Art Fair.

William drew the sugar lift image on the plate on Thurs evening of December 20th, after everyone else had closed for the holidays. Pontsho Sikhosana came in to APS Friday morning to assist in etching and printing the first layer of the plate, before I took over the work on an inspiring collaboration.

Over Saturday, Sunday and Monday, William re-painted the sugar-lift, dry-pointed and scraped away, and I proofed and etched four more layers aquatint etching blocking out selected areas until he was satisfied with the increasing richness of tonality and complexity.

The final result consists of dense layers of different tonalities of aquatint, and witty texts scraped out and re-etched: “Panic” receding then re-amplified; “always remember meme” words from a headless-systems-character disappearing and the re-instated in the negative through etching over text written with a marking pen on the plate.

The two plates consist of single procession of key moments by Dada characters (Picabia, Arp and Ernst) and the second represents office characters including a portrait of his embossing stamp or ‘chop’ that sits on one of his work tables in the studio.

A version of this composition is currently in production as a monumental tapestry by Marguerite Stephens and her weaving studio.

William Kentridge had just returned home for ten days from a grueling international schedule, after the monumental production of the Head and the Load showing in New York in December, fitting in another major exhibition in Basel and working furiously toward a major exhibition of new work at the Marion Goodman Gallery show in New York in March. On Christmas eve he was on his way to Australia to rehearse a major production of Wozzeck at the Sydney Opera House opening in January.

The production of the Head and the Load which “seeks to right a wrong in the world’s historical consciousness” and is “about all the contradictions and paradoxes of

colonialism that were heated and compressed by circumstances of the war,” has been described as one of his most ambitious projects yet undertaken. The acclaim of that production was expressed in the New York magazine review, consolidating Kentridge’s position as one of the greatest living artists of our time: “Today’s art world is powerfully drawn to Kentridge because he’s mastered one of our period’s greatest challenges: how to create an art of cultural authority, one that takes the moral measure of our time.”—New York Magazine http://www.armoryonpark.org/ programs_events/detail/the_head_and_the_load Amid this remarkable schedule, William Kentridge made the space and time to honour a commitment to Artist Proof Studio. We are enormously privileged and honoured to present the very beautiful ‘Dada Picnic’ at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair on the 15th to 17th February 2019.
