Kendell Geers

Kendell Geers is a pivotal figure in contemporary African art who now lives and works in Brussels. Born as a white African in apartheid-era South Africa, his work explores themes of identity, resistance and the complex legacies of history. Geers’ oeuvre stands as a testament to his enduring commitment to grappling with the complexities of race, power and social justice. His latest book, Duchamp’s Endgame: da Vinci, Dürer, Ingres, Poussin, explores the mysteries of what Marcel Duchamp was doing in Munich in 1912 and why he stopped painting in 1919, challenging the canon on the influential artist’s legacy.
