Vielmetter Los Angeles congratulates Andrea Bowers and Robert Pruitt on the inclusion of their works in the exhibition Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is on view from October 19th, 2024 through February 18th, 2025.
Get in the Game pays homage to important sports moments throughout history while honoring the beauty, power, and mystery of human physicality. The exhibition spotlights the influence of sports on contemporary culture. Athletic competition has inspired many contemporary artists to create works responding to the game’s emotional drama, the fan’s enthusiasm, the athlete’s discipline, and the implicit and explicit codes governing how games are played and who gets to play them. The exhibition brings together over 100 works of art, design, interactive installations, and media related to the world of sports, including athletic fashion and gear, Formula 1 race car steering wheels, and a display of surfboards.
