As part of its American Portraits initiative, an ongoing crowd-sourced project in which participants respond to prompts on the American experience, PBS has launched a roving public art initiative with the artists Carlos Ramirez, Swoon and Rick Lowe that reflects on American culture and identity. The multi-media installations, made from repurposed vehicles, will be shown in different locations across three US cities for several months, and will also be recorded in a four-part documentary series.
The artists selected for the project “each present a unique viewpoint” on what it means to be American today, says Bill Margol, the director of programming and development of PBS. “In art that provokes thought and discussion, we can find common ground and civility.”
