Funny Garbage: 10 Years of Making the Web Worth Watching
PBS Documentary "Imagining America"
Project Overview
Imagining America is a three-part PBS documentary exploring the transformation of 20th-century America, told through the words and work of some of the century's most significant artists. By examining the lives and work of such seminal artists as Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol, the film illuminates the evolution of 20th -century American art, from pictorial explorations of our vast natural and industrial landscapes, to abstract depictions of our collective psyches, to complex explorations of lives lived in a noisy barrage of visual, aural, technical and cultural data.
Imagining America: Icons of 20th Century American Art was co-directed by Funny Garbage President John Carlin with Jonathan Fineberg and Hart Perry.
A companion book takes readers from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Cindy Sherman in under 200 image-filled pages. Focusing on the biggest names in 20th-century art, the authors, writer-curator John Carlin and art historian Jonathan Fineberg, present a spirited case for artists as society's "independent conscience," probing and reflecting changes that have shaped American life.
Produced by Perry Films and MUSE Film and Television in association with Funny Garbage and Public Media, Inc.
