Art:21 | Paul McCarthy | Season 5 Preview (October 2009)

Uploaded by art21org on Aug 20, 2009
This video is excerpted from the Season 5 episode "Transformation" premiering on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 10pm (ET) on PBS (check local listings).
Whether satirizing society or reinventing icons of literature, art history, and popular culture, the artists in Transformation—Paul McCarthy, Cindy Sherman, and Yinka Shonibare MBE—inhabit the characters they create and capture the sensibilities of our age.
McCarthy's video-taped performances and provocative multimedia installations lampoon polite society, ridicule authority, and bombard the viewer with a sensory overload of often sexually-tinged, violent imagery. With irreverent wit, McCarthy often takes aim at cherished American myths and icons—Walt Disney, the Western, and even the Modern Artist—adding a touch of malice to subjects that have been traditionally revered for their innocence or purity.
