Art21: ‘History’ Screening at Townhouse Gallery
Art21
was founded as a non-profit art organization to provide access to
contemporary art and artists to broad-based audiences by documenting the
artists of our time for broadcast television and the internet,
providing companion educational materials, and teaching educators.
In the past decade, Art21 has used the power of digital media to
introduce millions of people of all ages worldwide to contemporary art
and artists, creating a new paradigm for teaching and learning about the
creative process. ‘History’ features Glenn Ligon, Mary Reid Kelley, and Marina Abramović. History
is a theme woven throughout the work of these artists, who mine personal and
collective narratives and play with historical events to explore and expose
commonly held assumptions about historic ‘truth’, and reveal
connections between past events and the lived present
