As Europe passed A.D. 1000, its growing prosperity was reflected in soaring Gothic cathedrals graced with colorful altarpieces, lacy stonework, and radiant stained glass. We visit luxurious castles to see exquisite tapestries showing a new secular love of worldly pleasures and, end in Italy, where pioneering artists like Giotto were mastering realism and pointing the way to the future of art.
Host Will Clinger spends an entire episode chronicling the annual, KINETIC SCULPTURE RACE in Baltimore - an outrageously challenging competition among two dozen humanpowered, amphibious, all-terrain mobile works of art slogging through a 15 mile course of city streets, mud, sand and Baltimore's inner harbor. All entries are vying for the coveted GRAND MEDIOCRE CHAMPION award.
