All the world is your living room - Art 21 preview screenings

The fourth season of Art 21 will be broadcast on PBS toward the end of this month, but there are numerous preview screenings happening all over the nation, and several locally in the next few weeks.

Here in Beacon, three of the segments will be screened.
Saturday, October 6, 2007 at 4:00 pm - "Romance" & "Ecology" Episodes
Beaconstruction at BAU Beacon Artist Union, 161 Main Street, Beacon, NY
Artists featured : Laurie Simmons, Lari Pittman, Judy Pfaff, Pierre Huyghe,
Ursula von Rydingsvard, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle’ , Robert Adams and Mark Dion

Friday, October 12, 2007 at 7:00 PM - "Protest" Episode
Beacon Art Salon at the Howland Cultural Center, 477 Main Street, Beacon, NY
Artists featured: Jenny Holzer, Alfredo Jaar, An-My Lê, and Nancy Spero

Friday, October 19, 2007 at 2:30 PM - "Paradox" Episode
Dia:Beacon Riggio Galleries, 3 Beekman Street, Beacon, NY
Artists featured: Mark Bradford, Catherine Sullivan, Robert Ryman (Dia:Beacon artist), Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla
Note: This screening is free with admission.


HVCCA in Peekskill will be screening two episodes:
Saturday, October 6th, 2007@ 4:00pm Episode 2: Protest: Jenny Holzer, Alfredo Jaar, An-My Lê, and Nancy Spero
Saturday, October 13th, 2007 @ 4:00pm Episode 4: Paradox: Jennifer Allora & Guillermo Calzadilla, Mark Bradford, Robert Ryman, and Catherine Sullivan


These screenings are being organized in the interest of community access. With that in mind, I'm now wishing a screening would have been organized at the Howland Public Library as the potential to reach a traditionally non-art audience might be extended.
