The Documentary Group

I’ve been watching the first season of Art:21 and I love it. Basically, the PBS documentary focuses on a few contemporary artists per episodes and allow them to explain what their art exhibit or artwork mean. There’s a bunch of insight we get from the artists, as well as a blog that goes along with the TV show, as well as updating us with new exhibits from previously featured artists on their show.

The video above is a preview of Richard Serra, a minimalist sculptor who creates behemoth walls and closed areas following a theme of space. On of the artists concerns, especially Serra, is the issue of the space around us, so he attempts to open our spatial senses with his pieces of work.

You can download the previous episodes of Art:21 on iTunes or buy the DVDs on Amazon if you’re interested in watching more. The series is also available on hulu.
