Acclaimed South African artist William Kentridge is about to dominate New York's arts calendar, and there's only one major venue where audiences can see his work for free.

On March 21st and 22nd, the World Financial Center will screen Sounds from the Black Box, Kentridge's most recent animation work and the latest in his long series of collaborations with South African composer Philip Miller.
A follow- up to and expansion of the pair's "9 Drawings for Projection" project, the piece combines Kentridge's stunning animations with scores by Miller, performed live by the NYC-based Ensemble Pi.
The arts World Financial Center screenings will correspond with a Kentridge exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (Feb 24-March 17) and a Kentridge- directed-and-designed production of Shostakovich's The Nose at the Metropolitan Opera (March 5-25).
Kentridge's omnipresence prompted a recent New Yorker profile to observe, "It's hard to remember when a visual artist has cut such a wide swath in the city's cultural life, or spanned so many disciplines with such aplomb."
