Apartheid, war, colonialism—these subjects spur the South African artist William Kentridge. His oeuvre is multifaceted. Kentridge makes political films out of drawings in charcoal (he photographs a drawing, partially erases and redraws it, again photographs it, and eventually these successive images add up to a movie). He also creates fascinating sculptures and triptychs, using recurring symbols that are the basis of a Kentridgean lexicon. “The Pull of Gravity” is his first major museum presentation outside South Africa that focuses on his sculpture. Presented across the Underground Gallery as well as outdoors are works in bronze, steel, paper, cardboard, and plaster. Go while it’s still warm! —Elena Clavarino
