"Might a work of art move us to temper our more destructive impulses? In what ways do artists' feelings of empathy contribute to works that tackle problematic subjects and address the human condition?

Fantasy, featuring contemporary artists Jeff Koons, Mary Heilmann, Florian Maier-Achen, and Cao Fei, explores a defiant and unconventional world of sculpture, painting, video and photography-a techno-inspired collection that is at times hallucinatory, irreverent, and sublime...as each of these artists pursues a vision first held in the mind's eye.

"Why do we find comfort in some systems while rebelling against others? How can the artist use systems as a mean of expression? Systems explores these questions in the work of contemporary artists Julie Mehretu, John Baldessari, Kimsooja, and Allan McCollum--all motivated to explain and explore the infinite systems of life as they experiment with abstract composition, performance art, stenciling, photography, and unexpected collections. The work of these artists is both ethereal and thought-provoking, and the film clearly illustrates how powerful a message they are sending to the world: individuals can be both singular as well as part of whole."
