Art:21 | Julie Mehretu | Season 5 Preview (October 2009)
Loading...
Uploaded by art21org on Oct 1, 2009
This video is excerpted from the Season 5 episode "Systems" premiering on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 10pm (ET) on PBS (check local listings).
"Systems" features four artists — John Baldessari, Kimsooja, Allan McCollum, and Julie Mehretu — who invent new grammars and logics, finding comfort in some systems while rebelling against others in todays supercharged, information-based society.
Mehretu's paintings and drawings refer to elements of mapping and architecture, achieving a calligraphic complexity that resembles turbulent atmospheres and dense social networks. Architectural renderings and aerial views of urban grids enter the work as fragments, losing their real-world specificity and challenging narrow geographic and cultural readings.
