Episode Detail: Identity; Consumption - Art in the Twenty-First Century

Conclusion. Artists whose work explores identity and consumption are profiled. Among them: Maya Lin, the designer of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.; 90-year-old sculptor Louise Bourgeois; Kerry James Marshall and Michael Ray Charles, who address racial themes in strikingly different ways; Andrea Zittel, who lives in---or wears---her utilitarian “installations”; and Mel Chin, whose conceptual art has found its way into everything from a burned-out Detroit house to video games and TV's “Melrose Place.”
