Kurt Andersen and his guest, filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn, look at the physical and imaginative worlds that artists create. We visit Arcosanti, where the Italian architect Paolo Soleri tried to build the future — in the middle of the Arizona desert. A painter’s daughter remembers growing up in Oakland in a renovated Piggly-Wiggly supermarket that her father spent 20 years turning into a work of art. And we explore thepoetry of Elizabeth Bishop, describing the house that she and her lover built into the granite cliff of a hillside village near Rio.
