Editorial Reviews
Through in-depth profiles and dynamic behind-the-scenes footage featuring artists speaking directly about their inspirations and ideas, Season Five shows a broad range of artistic practice, technical innovation, and experimentation, from artists tackling large-scale collaborative projects in hangar-like studios, to those working in the quiet of more intimate studio settings. Art21 traveled around the world in Season Five, filming the creation of new art on every continent (except Antarctica) and in museums, studios, galleries and homes in nine countries. Fourteen internationally recognized artists, from painters and sculptors to photographers and artists exploring the possibilities of new media, were filmed in their own environments and in their own words. The result is an exceptional opportunity for audiences to experience first-hand the complex artistic processes behind some of today s most intriguing and thought-provoking art.

Hearing the numerous internationally recognized artists' ideas and inspirations is extremely moving and motivational. Watching this film will broaden your artistic mind and give you the craving to be creative in a variety of ways. It also gives insight into the artists' complex, talented lives. This film just goes to show that artists come in all different shapes and sizes. If you love traveling, exploration and have appreciation for art, I strongly recommend "Art 21: Art in the Twenty-First Century, Season V." Let's travel the continents together to explore the behind to scenes of who brings art to life!

I use this series in my high school classroom and for my own art inspiration. Excellent, just be sure to preview it before you show it to the kids.

I purchased the Bluray version a few months ago and was disappointed to find that it would not load - I tried it on recent Panasonic and a Sony bluray players, and in both cases, the TV showed "Loading" for a very long time, and I had to eject the disc or even power off the player to interrupt the process.
HOWEVER, some weeks later, after ordering a DVD version to replace the Bluray, I gave the bluray one last try. This time I just popped it in the player, and left it. I came back about 20 minutes later and the menu had appeared! I was then able to play all of the programs on the disc without problem or delay, and the picture looked stunning. I tried again on the other bluray player, and the same result - I had to wait for about 12-15 minutes for the menu to appear, and when it did, all was fine with playback.
There is obviously something not quite right here, but the disc is playable, and once you get past the ridiculous disc loading time, the experience of navigating and watching is very nice indeed. I did contact PBS before I made this discovery, alerting them to a problem with the disc - they stated that they had no record of any problem. So it seems like there is no effort being made to address the issue.
Perhaps it only affects some players. But we are now happy that this bluray we formerly thought was unplayable is in fact OK. I rate this disc highly for its content, with one star taken off because of the crazy load time.

Faulty product!
I purchased 2 bluray formats in which neither worked in my new bluray player as well as a friends bluray player. I then purchased the non bluray format in which it did play. Read more

Maybe the Best Yet
Every DVD from this series has been great. I find I go back to them when I'm stuck in some way. It is like having the best artists drop by your studio to talk about what they are... Read more
