To coincide with Anselm Kiefer’s major solo show at White Cube Bermondsey, the artist was joined in conversation by author, editor and professor Rod Mengham. From the gallery, they explored the artist’s long-standing fascination with James Joyce’s 1939 novel Finnegans Wake, from which the exhibition takes its name.
Kiefer details the way his relationship to and understanding of Finnegans Wake has changed and developed over the years, and how literary, poetic and philosophical sources have long influenced his practice throughout his career, which spans over 50 years.
The exhibition runs from 7 June - 20 August 2023.

From ruins springs up hope, tunnels connect us with our roots wherever we live, the process of painting reveals intentions or results which are not conscious to the painter. I shall remember these thoughts. His paintings are powerful. The professor does not read well the intentions of the painter yet the conversation was fruitful.

He's a very intelligent and well read man who really gets the beauty in chaos and the importance of destruction in the creative process! He has a very complex perspective! I love it!

I love finnegans wake. I wade in it continually, and I think Anselm Kiefer is another colossus, the supreme genius of the visual art of these decades. my thanks to Professor Mengham and to Anselm whose work brings me such deep joy

William Kentridge’s quotation springs to mind, ‘invite the philosopher in for coffee, but when making the work leave him outside’. Unfortunately the ‘academic’ brings him back in after the work is complete and does very little (particularly here) to enhance the felt experience.

Hi Eddie , I hope my comment didn't sound like an invasion of privacy. Your comment tells about a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which made me write the comment I don't usually write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don't mind, can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
