This is an exploration of these shifts and struggles in the form of drawings and texts, music and movement, and even films and concepts. Towards the end of the 19th century, time was universally organized: villages, cities, and entire countries were stripped of their \"own\" time as clocks were synchronized with signals. Albert Einstein met with fierce resistance when he introduced his radical idea that overturned the notion of a \"universally audible tick-tock\" in favor of times that are not time. In our own era, time is once again being thrown into disarray – time is being crossed with information, it is being challenged at the horizon of black holes, or even presented by many string theorists as a pure illusion. In a congenial long-term partnership with Peter L. Galison, historian, author, filmmaker, and Professor of the History of Science and Physics at Harvard University, South African artist William Kentridge dedicates himself to exploring these ideas in The Refusal of Time, a project for dOCUMENTA (13), the genesis of which is illuminated by this notebook. William Kentridge (born 1955 in Johannesburg, South Africa) completed a degree in Politics and African Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg in 1976. From 1976 to 1978, he studied printmaking at the Johannesburg Art Foundation. In 1981\/82, he took mime and acting lessons at the École internationale de théâtre Jacques Lecog in Paris. Since the 1980s, his work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including \"Five Themes\" in 2010 at MoMA, New York, the Jeu de Paume, Paris, and the Albertina, Vienna. Kentridge participated in documenta X (1997) and Documenta11 (2002) and is also represented at dOCUMENTA (13) (2012). He has received various awards, including the Goslar Kaiserring in 2003 and the Kyoto Prize for Arts and Philosophy in 2010. The artist lives and works in Johannesburg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStatus: June 2012William Kentridge (born 1955 in Johannesburg, South Africa) completed a degree in Politics and African Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg in 1976.
