Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Pepón Osorio, from the "Place" episode in Season 1 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Place" premiered in September 2001 on PBS.

This segment was filmed on location in Pepón Osorio’s birthplace of Puerto Rico and his residence in Philadelphia, PA. Osorio leads the viewer on a tour of three complex, multidimensional installations where the artist’s Puerto Rican heritage and experience as a social worker inform his staged confrontations between public life and private spaces.

Pepón Osorio was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, in 1955 and currently lives and works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/artist/pepon-osorio
