I Like Winners: Sport and Selfhood

I Like Winners: Sport and Selfhood will survey how sports are used as subject matter, thematic material and form in contemporary art.
While most exhibitions about sports center around masculinity, this exhibition will provide a much-needed broader look at how and where sports are utilized in the arts. Each of the twenty-four artists includes one to six pieces of artwork in the exhibition.
The artists live all over the United States, including Reno, and are of very different careers levels and media, including video, photography, painting, sculpture, performance and installation. Some artists will make new work for the exhibition, and others have backgrounds as professional athletes.
Over ten artists will be in town for the panel discussion on Thursday Jan. 22. We hope to see you there for this lively and unique event!
Artists include: Adam Taye, Arthur Gibbons, Ben Coonley, Caitlin Parker, Carlin Wing, Charles Fairbanks, Chris Carnel, David King, James Jaxxa, Jeffrey James Mohr, Jennifer Locke, Jim Finn, Jonathan VanDyke, Judy Linn, Lisa Young, Lucas Michael, Mara Bodis-Wollner, Marie Watt, Matthew Slaats, Project Moonshine, Rob Carter, Tad Beck, William Lamson, and Young Jang
