LOS ANGELES, CA - April 2, 2015 - The renowned Annenberg Space for Photography, the only cultural destination in Los Angeles dedicated to exhibiting both digital and print photography, has partnered with KCETLinks award-winning weekly series ARTBOUND to present five television specials that showcase the breadth of artistic works displayed in recent exhibitions at the Photography Space. The special series on ARTBOUND marks the first time that content from the Annenberg Space for Photography will be broadcast exclusively in a documentary format.
The five episode series will be televised during April and May, highlighting specific themes and the work of esteemed photographers from around the world. The topics covered in the series explore the essence of Los Angeles; the worlds water status; nature; the culture of beauty; and the intersection of art and technology through a variety of digital techniques. Each episode goes behind the lens to celebrate photography as an art form and a catalyst for positive change. The series will premiere with the first installment entitled L8S ANG3LES in Southern California on April 14 at 8 p.m. PT on KCET and nationally on April 20 at 8 p.m. PT/ET on Link TV (DirecTV 375 and DISH Network 9410).
A great photograph captures so much more than a moment in time. It captures a great artists vision -- an insight that goes deep inside its subject, said Wallis Annenberg, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of the Annenberg Foundation. Weve worked very hard at the Annenberg Space for Photography to present this kind of photography - challenging, thought-provoking work that tells a story, and engages the viewer in a dialogue about everything from our environment to our own self-image to the limits of art itself. Im so pleased that our partnership with KCETLink and ARTBOUND will bring the significant documentary work that is part of the fabric of our exhibitions to audiences beyond our walls.
Through this series, we want to help our viewers understand photography as an art form that explores the human condition through a different lens thanks to the efforts of these artists, said Juan Devis, Senior Vice President, Content, Development and Production, KCETLink. We are thrilled to partner with the Annenberg Space for Photography to be able to profile these visionaries behind one of the most accessible and personal forms of art.
Prior to the broadcast of the first in the series of five episodes, ARTBOUND will publish several online installments at KCET.org/artbound that explore select photographers, their work and their exhibitions at the Photography Space.
The schedule and description of the various installments are as follows:
