 ed to announce the continuation of our&nbsp\;First Friday Film Series&nbsp
 \;through fall and winter months. Visitors can enjoy extended evening hour
 s from 5:00pm to 8:00pm with free admission\, cash bar\, and special progr

  various contemporary artists. Special programming includes "Center of Att

 sode will be:</strong>\n<a href="http://www.pbs.org/art21/films/history">A
 rt21 | History</a>\nThe artists Glenn Ligon\, Mary Reid Kelley\, and Marin
 a Abrimovic explore and play with historic events in order to expose 'trut
 h' and create narrative in this episode of Art21. \nAbout the Film:\nHow d
 o artists mine the past to explore the present? Why do some historical eve
 nts shape the way we think today\, and why have some been forgotten? In wh
 at ways do artists use their own histories to examine the human condition?
  In this episode\, artists play with historical events\, explore and expos
 e commonly held assumptions about historic &lsquo\;truth&rsquo\;\, and cre
 ate narratives based on personal experiences.\nA pioneer of performance as
  a visual art form\,<a href="http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/marina-abram
 ovi%C4%87"> Marina Abramović</a> has used her body as both subject and me
 dium of her performances\, testing her physical\, mental\, and emotional l
 imits (and often pushing beyond them) in a quest for heightened consciousn
 ess\, transcendence\, and self-transformation. While the sources of some w
 orks lie in her personal history (the circumstances of her childhood and f
 amily life under Communist rule in the former Yugoslavia)\, others lie in 
 more recent and contemporary events such as the wars in her homeland and o
 ther parts of the world. Painter and sculptor<a href="http://www.pbs.org/a
 rt21/artists/glenn-ligon"> Glenn Ligon</a> examines American identity thro
 ugh found sources&mdash\;literature\, Afrocentric coloring books\, photogr
 aphs&mdash\;to reveal the ways in which the history of slavery\, the civil
  rights movement\, and sexual politics inform our understanding of contemp
 orary society. In striking black-and-white videos and drawings filled with
  punning wordplay\,<a href="http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/mary-reid-kel
 ley"> Mary Reid Kelley</a> presents her take on the clash between utopian 
 ideologies and the realities of women&rsquo\;s lives in the struggle for l
 iberation and through political strife\, wars\, and other historical event
