William Kentridge at Kunsthalle Praha: “Jan Švankmajer showed me you don’t need to do Hollywood animation”

A new exhibition of work by the major international artist William Kentridge at Kunsthalle Praha looks set to be one of the art events of the year in the Czech capital. Entitled The Battle Between YES and NO, it includes animated films, sculptural works – and a piece dedicated to Franz Kafka created especially for the show. I spoke to the South African-born Kentridge, who is 70, at a press preview.
