William Kentridge - O Sentimental Machine

Handbook to "O Sentimental Machine", an exhibition featuring: William Kentridge, designed by Sabine Theunissen on the premisses of the Baron von Liebieg Villa and the Städtische Galerie, Frankfurt am Main. Edited by Vinzenz Brinkmann and Kristin Schrader. On occasion of the exhibition at Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, Frankfurt am Main, March 22 - August 26, 2018.

With the exhibition "O Sentimental Machine", Kentridge's works enter into further dialogue with the grand narratives of civilization based on the entire sculpture collection of the Liebieghaus, which spans 5,000 years. Kentridge understands how to subvert these narratives and simultaneously point out his own entanglements. The accompanying publication carries this historical and political moment forward in the format of a quasi-fictitious guide to the collection. A special feature of the catalogue is that, in order to illustrate Kentridge’s interaction with works from the collection, his artistic interventions or commentaries - printed on transparent sheets - are in some instances overlaid on the reproductions of the works to which he refers. 287 Seiten mit 270 Abb. und vier Beilagen, broschiert (Kerber Verlag 2018) leicht berieben, angeschmutzt und bestoßen, Mängelexemplarstempel auf Schnitt/unused, slightly rubbed, bumped and soiled, remainder mark stamp on edge
