William Kentridge / Drawing the Passing
documentary by Maria Anna Tappeiner and Reinhard Wulf
Exploring a space between the personal and the political, the work of South African artist William Kentridge has since the 1970's investigated the diseased, amnesiac consciousness of the late and post-apartheid South Africa. Kentridge has received international acclaim for his animated films, drawings and theatre work.
In November 1998, filmmaker Reinhard Wulf and art historian Maria Anna Tappeiner visited Kentridge's Johannesburg studio to film the artist at work. The resulting documentary records Kentridge in final stages of animating Steroscope. It includes excerpts from the finished film, plus Kentridge's reflections on his work and the process of making it. The documentary is a unique record of the artist at work, offering exceptional insight into his creative process.

Visiting Artist James Barany
As a part of the Lawrence University Art & Art History Visiting Artist Series 2011, James Barany, a multidisciplinary new media artist, animator, and opera chorister will be presenting his work to our class. His visit is sponsored by the Lawrence University Film Club. He will also be giving a public lecture at 4:45pm in the Wriston Auditorium Followed by a Q&A session and reception.
Program Title: Arias, Animation and Anastomosis
James Barany’s newest time-based media work continues to probe through the emotional layers of his intrapersonal-self. With a mixture of satirical and turbulent repertoire, he challenges the viewer to question their own definition of ‘self’ through dynamic combinations of animation, vocal oratory and composited video. Barany will present his creative anastomosis- how this work, creative process, and his journey with creative integration becomes manifest.
James Barany is currently a Chorister (Baritone) at The Florentine Opera in Milwaukee and the Coordinator of Fine Art / Associate Professor at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design.
