The Art Assignment

Public Art Study: Fred Wilson's E Pluribus Unum

Season 2 Episode 44

What is public art? Who funds it, owns it, and shapes it? Who does it serve? And why is it important? We try to answer some of these questions by looking at an example of public art that never came to be - Fred Wilson’s E Pluribus Unum.
