El Anatsui in "Change" - Season 6 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21

Описание: Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring El Anatsui, from the "Change" episode in Season 6 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Change" premiered in April 2012 on PBS.

In his studio in Nigeria, artist El Anatsui oversees young studio assistants from the local community who work with him to create sculptures made from bottle caps, a found material from discarded liquor bottles that Anatsui began working with for the aesthetic properties of the caps, which also can allude to the role of international commerce in African history.
