History (6x3)

Data de estreia: Abr 26, 2012

How do artists mine the past to explore the present? Why do some historical events shape the way we think today, and why have some been forgotten? In what ways do artists use their own histories to examine the human condition? In this episode, artists play with historical events, explore and expose commonly held assumptions about historic ‘truth’, and create narratives based on personal experiences. Featured in this video: Glenn Ligon, Marina Abramović, Mary Reid Kelley.
