Conversations: Anselm Kiefer and Rod Mengham | White Cube

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. Find out more: #AnselmKiefer #WhiteCube #WhiteCubeBermondsey #FinnegansWake
