Art:21 Kicks off New Season

"Art:21":http://beta.art21.org/, the documentary series about art and artists in the 21st-century, starts a new season tonight on PBS. Each episode is organized by a theme -- humor, romance, paradox. Tonight's show on 'compassion' profiles "William Kentridge":http://www.pbs.org/newshour/art/blog/2009/03/william-kentridge-at-sfmoma.html, Carrie Mae Weems and Doris Salcedo, three artists who consider the complicated emotional experiences and motivations of others (the pains and the pleasures) through their artwork. Susan Sollins is the Curator and Executive Producer of Art:21. She joined us to give us a preview of the new season. If you miss the premiere tonight, or if you'd like to watch it with other art fanatics, there are screenings of the fifth season being held all over the world.
