In the Brilliant Ideas series, each half hour show gets up close and personal with some of the most fascinating artists in the world today to understand their thoughts and questions about their works and lives to inspire, provoke and excite audiences. To explore the true impact of their stories, Brilliant Ideas interviewed 77 living artists over three years in multiple locations around the world, ranging from Europe, Africa, Asia, South East, Mexico, and the US. Highlighting in-depth observance of the artist’s behind the scenes and creation processes, the series captured groundbreaking conversations with the artists and many voices around the globe to rethink and question our perspectives through the artists’ continual work of crossing the boundaries of creativity.
