this unique series introduces audiences to 16 artists
working in America today. Within the series, the viewer

they transform inspiration into art, and hear their thoughts
as they grapple with the physical and visual challenges of
achieving their artistic visions. 2003. Set of 4 - 4x60.
DVD SET 6SBUSA
Storytelling
Storytelling has long been an inspiration for visual
art, and it remains a strong element in the work
of artists today. The artists featured in this first
episode include Kara Walker, Kiki Smith, Do-Ho Suh
and Trenton Doyle Hancock. These four artists tell
tales through architecture, literature, mythology,
fairytales, and history. Working in a variety of
materials, these contemporary artists provoke
their audience to think about their own stories,
the morals and messages, and the beginnings and
endings that define our real and imagined lives.

photograph or installation that they create. 2006. Set of

Power
From politics to mass media, the theme of power
pervades daily life and is reflected in the ideas
and concerns of contemporary artists. The Art:21
documentary Power explores the work of the artists
Cai Guo-Qiang, Laylah Ali, Krzysztof Wodiczko, and
Ida Applebroog, and concludes with an original
video artwork by Teresa Hubbard / Alexander
Birchler.

Loss and Desire
Thoughts and responses to themes of loss and
desire surface in many areas of our lives, from the
philosophical to the emotional. Specific works of
art cause us to contemplate issues such as war
and peace; the loss of community and the desire
for connection; the age-old human longing for
perfection, whether in the form of games or in the
universe as we understand it through science and
myth; and questions about the nature of beauty.
The artists featured in this program are Collier Schorr, Gabriel Orozco and
Janine Antoni.

Time
The element of time is always present in our
interaction with works of art, whether we sit to
contemplate a painting for a few moments, stroll
past a sculpture, or watch a video piece for its
entire duration or cycle. Some works of art are
time-based in that the viewer must experience
them through the passage of time, as with
music, while others refer to time through links
or references to art history, our collective human
history, or the timelessness of nature. This episode features work by Martin
Puryear, Paul Pfeiffer, Vija Celmins and Tim Hawkinson.

Memory
How does memory function? What is history?
How do contemporary artists frame the past in
their work? The Art:21 documentary Memory
explores these questions through the work of the
artists Susan Rothenberg, Mike Kelley, Hiroshi
Sugimoto, and Josiah McElheny, and concludes
with an original video artwork by Teresa Hubbard /
Alexander Birchler.

Structures
How do we organise life? What are the ways
in which we capture knowledge and attempt
greater understanding? The Art:21 documentary
Structures explores these questions in the work
of the artists Roni Horn, Matthew Ritchie, Fred
Wilson, and Richard Tuttle, and concludes with
an original video artwork by Teresa Hubbard /
Alexander Birchler.

Humour
This final episode explores the ways in which
contemporary artists use irony, goofiness, satire
and sarcasm. The four artists profiled in this
program - Eleanor Antin, Raymond Pettibon,
Elizabeth Murray and Walton Ford - have been
influenced by the history of humour and comedy,
including vaudeville, cartoons, and comic books.
Working in a variety of media, including drawing,
painting, performance, photography, and print
making, their artwork’s reveal how humour and satire can stimulate
laughter as well as serve as a vehicle to explore serious subjects, such
as feminism, the natural environment, the excesses of consumer culture,
social injustice and war.

in contemporary art. The Art:21 documentary Play

Arturo Herrera, Jessica Stockholder, and Ellen
Gallagher, and concludes with an original video
artwork by Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler.
