Get in the Game, together with six sports-related companion exhibitions, will be the museum’s most expansive presentation dedicated to a subject to date, covering over 15,000 square feet with more than 200 compelling artworks and design objects.
Through sports, artists can tell stories of the highs and lows of human experience: adrenaline-fueled passions and agonising defeats, as well as our relationship with traditions and record-breaking achievements. Emma Amos’ work is exhibited alongside Ernie Barnes, Jeffrey Gibson, Ivan Salcido, Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi, Catherine Opie, Paul Pfeiffer and Hank Willis Thomas.
