PBS: Art:21 We've come a long way since the simple days of monochrome cave art. In the 21st century, we're still making sense of chaos through creative self-expression, but now we have a few more tools at our disposal. This Emmy-nominated four-part series focuses on 21 modern American artists who express their passion through far-flung mediums. Learn how the whimsical photos of William Wegman, the tactile installations of Ann Hamilton, and the architectural monuments of Maya Lin crystallize the sometimes hazy definition of art. Is an artist born or made? What roles do place and identity play in a creative mind? See how a filmmaker, an advertiser, and a video game developer balance the public's appetite for mass consumption with personal drives and motivations. Season 2 promises more of the same ambitious scope, bringing to the forefront a range of talented voices that characterize the plurality of American culture. (in Television)
