Susan Philipsz in "Berlin" - Season 9 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21

Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Susan Philipsz, from the "Berlin" episode in the ninth season of the ""Art in the Twenty-First Century"" series.

"Berlin" premiered in September 2018 on PBS. Watch now on PBS and the PBS Video app: https://www.pbs.org/video/berlin-vjqxnw/

Susan Philipsz treats audio as a sculptural object, using historically-resonant sources—like an orchestral work by a composer who was interned in a German concentration camp in the 1940s—to create unexpectedly haunting and lyrical installations. Philipsz develops a series of projects across Germany and Austria, including the rehearsal of World War II–damaged instruments in a small German town and a new work connecting one of Vienna’s best-known public squares to its fascist past.

Susan Philipsz was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1965. Learn more about the artists at:
