"Everyone should have a studio," artist Liz Magor says in our most recent Art21 Exclusive episode. "Because it is a place where you kind of line up all those dissonances and have a good look."
Art21's digital team has recently been undergoing a similar exercise: for more than six months now, we've been lining up the dissonances of our existing website to find new ways of better integrating and presenting our content online. From a custom video player to curated sets of related content for each of our hundreds of films, Art21's digital presence is only a few weeks away from total renovation. Keep an eye out in the first weeks of March for our new website!

"I need a very quiet studio, because a work starts with me acknowledging those
ever-present, not noisy operations in the world."

From Season 1 of Art21's Art in the Twenty-First Century
"A work of art doesn't have to be explained. If you do not have any feeling about this, I cannot explain it to you. If this doesn't touch you, I have failed." --Louise Bourgeois
