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 today's supercharged, information-based society.

Synthesizing photomontage, painting, and language, Baldessari's deadpan visual juxtapositions equate images with words and illuminate, confound, and challenge meaning. He upends commonly held expectations of how images function, often by drawing the viewers attention to minor details, absences, or the spaces between things.

  • Baldy is a another dull moron who can't draw!....He wouldn't have ever become a teacher at CalArts without his networked PALS. Amazing that he was transplanted from San Diego to Valencia! He should believe in God......because without his help, this dolt would've never amounted to much more than another "talking head."
