Art 21: Art in the 21st Century: Power (2015)

From politics to mass media, the theme of power pervades daily life and is reflected in the ideas and concerns of contemporary artists. Art21 documentary Power explores the work of the artists Cai Guo-Qiang, Laylah Ali, Krzysztof Wodiczko, and Ida Applebroog, and concludes with an original video artwork by Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler. Power humanises difficult issues as artists become witnesses and seek to achieve a balance between constructive and destructive energies.
