In anticipation of a major exhibition to be held in summer 2015, UCCA invites South African contemporary artist William Kentridge to give a lecture on processes within the studio.

The studio is offered as a space for a rigorous but non-rational coming together of images, ideas, and meanings. Physical thinking—allowing the act of making to be the prompt for ideas which follow—is explored as strategy for creative work in the studio.

William Kentridge proposes the idea of dream work, and the secondary revision of dreams, as analogous to the activities in the studio. Collage is interrogated both as a strategy of making, but also as a metaphoric description of understanding, and is tested in setting different sound and music fragments to different series of film images. Kentridge will also talk about his current works and the making of a flip-book film, Second-hand Reading.
