Hosted by a rotating roster of celebrity guests, the series travels the globe to document contemporary artists in their studios as they create works of visual art--from inspiration through execution to completion--for startlingly intimate portraits of the artistic process. Organized around themes of power, memory, structure, and play, this collection presents all four episodes of the series' third season, which features guest hosts David Alan Grier, Isabella Rossellini, Sam Waterson, and Grant Hill meeting with 18 contemporary working artists, including Ellen Gallagher, Cai Guo-Qiang, Arturo Herrara, Matthew Ritchie, Susan Rothenberg, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Krzysztof Wodiczko.
