In "Art:21 -Art in the Twenty-First Century," twenty-one artists who are defining the visual arts for a new millennium discuss their life, their work, and their vision. As the first broadcast series to focus exclusively on contemporary visual art and artists in the United States, Art:21 offers a unique glimpse into the artists' personal experiences, sources of inspiration, and creative processes revealed candidly in their own words. Provocative video opening segments were created by Laurie Anderson, Wilham Wegman with Steve Martin, Barbara Kruger with John McEnroe, and Beryl Korot with S Epatha Merkerson to introduce program themes. "By showing how these artists use new and varied media and techniques to respond to new phenomena in the real world, this senes illustrates the direct relevance of contemporary art to everyday life and offers new definitions of what art is today," says Producer and Curator Susan Sollins. At the same time, the series. gives viewers a rare opportunity to get to know these artists as mdividuals, as people with families and friends, dreams and fears. Listening to the1r words and watching them at work, viewers get a unique insight into where they are coming from, what art means to them, and why they do what they do. |
