Featuring El Anatsui, who was filmed during the installation of his retrospective exhibition at the Davis, this Art21 episode presents artists who engage in practices that provoke thinking about our changing world, whether social norms or political issues. These works range from protest pieces to photographic portraits to sculptural forms, and promote a reconsideration of the social dynamics and political processes present in the creation and presentation of an artwork.
