Art: 21 Season 5 Premiere Screening

Saturday, October 3, 2009, 12:00 - 3:00 PM
Henry Auditorium
Free with museum admission

Art21 Season 5.

Continue the celebration of our new exhibition Vortexhibition Polyphonica and attend a preview screening of the episode Systems at 12PM and a second screening of Transformation at 2PM.

Systems- “Artists invent new processes to convey the attitudes of today’s supercharged, information-based society, examining why we find comfort in some systems while rebelling in others. Systems features artists who realize complex projects through acts of appropriation or accumulation. In some instances, they create projects vast in scope, which almost elude comprehension.”

This event is part of Art21 Access ‘09 a celebration of contemporary art and Season 5 of Art 21: 21-Art in the Twenty-First Century sponsored by Art21. Art21 Access ‘09 is held at over 300 museums, schools, libraries, art spaces, and community centers and is organized in collaboration with Americans for the Arts and Humanities Month. Visit art21.org for more information.

Featured artists: Yinka Shonibare MBE, Cindy Sherman, Paul McCarthy, John Balderssari, Kimsooja, Allan McCollum, Julie Mehretu
