  Passport to Adventure [#119]
  Trekking In Nepal
  Kathmandu is probably the world's first real adventure travel destination. It has changed considerably since the 1950's, (as every place does when tourism thrives), but in many ways, it hasn't changed at all. Nepal offers a wealth of exotic culture, spectacular landscapes, and miles of terrain for trekking. Starting out in the vibrant capital of Kathmandu, host Julie Conover takes a breathtaking flight over Mt. Everest, then heads to Pokhara, to explore this romantic lakeside village and begin a trek into the foothills of the Annapurna range. duration 27:29   CC TVG

  * When Elvis Came to Visit - Sweden

Due to circumstances beyond his control, Lukas is forced to baby sit the young Elvis. What happens to prejudice when it is faced with the simplicity of a child?

  Priscilla's Yoga Stretches [#120]
  The 130 programs are designed to air daily, Monday through Friday. The 15- minute segments are frequently coupled together to fill a 30-minute time slot at the option of local programmers. The first three shows demonstrate and explain three to four new postures or exercises per show. The last two shows serve as review so the viewer has a chance to make certain they followed and understood correctly. In addition, if the viewer missed a show, the Thursday and Friday review days bring them up-to-date. At the onset, the program is strictly teaching the "building blocks" of yoga exercise. As the series progresses, the work becomes more demanding. However, there is an effort to always have a fair balance of some basically simple postures mixed in so that everyone will have an opportunity to participate. duration 13:45   CC

  Art21: Art in the Twenty-First Century [#504]
  Systems
  Artists invent new processes to convey the attitudes of today's supercharged, information-based society, examining why we find comfort in some systems while rebelling against others. This program features artists who realize complex projects through acts of appropriation or accumulation. In some instances, they create projects vast in scope, which almost elude comprehension.
  Julie Mehretu is an accomplished Ethiopian-American painter. Her often large-scale abstract paintings and drawings reference techniques of mapping and architecture to achieve a complexity that suggests turbulent atmospheres and dense social networks. Art21 filmed Mehretu in Berlin, where she has temporarily relocated her studio to accommodate an enormous painting - commissioned by a major financial institution in lower Manhattan - which, in its conception, addresses the history of market-based capitalism.
  Influential mentor and teacher to several generations of artists, John Baldessari integrates elements of photomontage, painting and language in his work. He employs visual juxtapositions to associate images with words and illuminate, confound and challenge their meaning.
  Kimsooja is a Korean-born artist who now lives and works in the US. She combines the techniques of video, performance and installation in pieces that feature repetitive actions, practices and forms. Often inserting her own body in dense urban environments, as well as in isolated rural settings, Kimsooja's video works at times blur the boundaries between aesthetics and transcendent experience.
  Applying strategies of mass production to hand-made objects, Allan McCollum explores the meaning of the unique work of art versus that of mass-produced objects for a society gripped by consumption. In order to create a recent new work, McCollum collaborated - strictly via email and phone - with craftspeople in Maine. He is best-known for creating large quantities of nearly identical - yet still unique - component objects that then constitute a single work of art. duration 56:27   CC STEREO DVI TVPG
