28:T517,Celebrity hosts? Flip phones? Grant Hill!? In the early days of Art21, we invited celebrity hosts to introduce each of the Art in the Twenty-First Century episodes, which lasted through Season 3 (2005). In a special series of 100 Artists â€œthrowbackâ€ posts (which coincidentally happen to be on Thursdays), we will dedicate a post to each of these hosts. First up is professional basketball player Grant Hillâ€”then of the Orlando Magicâ€”introducing the Play episode, which featured artists Oliver Herring, Arturo Herrera, Jessica Stockholder, and Ellen Gallagher, along with an original work of video art by the artists Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler. To introduce the theme of â€œplay,â€ Grant Hill draws comparisons to athletes and artists, stating: â€œWe get to watch athletes play live. We rarely get to see an artist playing. We only get to see the results of their play: their artwork.â€ Hill then describes Art21â€™s episode as providing a glimpse into each artistâ€™s â€œprivate court.â€ We are happy see that Grant Hill is still making an impact in the NBA, serving a veteran role over in â€œLob Cityâ€ with the Los Angeles Clippers.
