Berlin has become a haven for artists from all over the world—a free zone where experimentation, individual expression, and international influences converge. From creating large-scale public projects to intimately personal ones, the artists in this hour demonstrate the diversity of practice and sensibilities in the German capital. The “Berlin” episode features Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg, Olafur Eliasson, Hiwa K, and Susan Philipsz.

Part of Art21’s new series ‘Art in the Twenty-First Century.” The new season, beginning September 21, will spotlights artists’ relationships with place, and will feature 12 artists as well as, for the first time, a nonprofit art center.
