TV Worth Watching

I'm so happy. Just realized that past episodes of one of my favorite PBS shows -- Art:21 -- are available to watch anytime for free on hulu.com. Yeah! I don't always like the featured artists but I always learn something interesting and get lots of food for thought. Stokes the creative fire!

Art in the 21st Century

Despite my near addiction to PBS channels, I have somehow managed to miss most episodes of their great series, Art:21 Art in the 21st Century. The good news, I just found out, is that the entire series is available through Netflix. You can even watch episodes instantly on your computer screen. (They also have Simon Schama's excellent series, The Power of Art, another fav.)

If you go for Episode 1, you'll get to hear photographer Sally Mann make this fantastic statement about art: If it doesn't have ambiguity, don't bother.
