Just ordered my DVD of season three of the very outstanding PBS series Art:21. I suppose I couldn’t wait for the premiere.
It looks like season three will start up this Friday at 10pm eastern time. If you have not seen Art:21 before do not miss it. This seasons artists include Laylah Ali, Richard Tuttle, Fred Wilson, Hiroshi Sugimoto and many others.
“Art:21–Art in the Twenty-First Century” is the only series on television to focus exclusively on contemporary visual art and artists in the United States, and it uses the medium of television to provide an experience of the visual arts that goes far beyond a gallery visit. Fascinating and intimate footage allows the viewer to observe the artists at work, watch their process as they transform inspiration into art, and hear their thoughts as they grapple with the physical and visual challenges of achieving their artistic visions.
