Glenn Ligon, Howardena Pindell, and Gary Simmons are among approximately 25 artists represented in this exhibition who have addressed sport as medium and metaphor. Multi-media, contemporary work will be interspersed with early images of African Americans in sport, such as horse racing jockeys and baseball players. The joy of athletic endeavors and their mass appeal as spectacle will be acknowledged, as will the innate dramas of race, class, identity, and politics. Presented by The Amistad Center for Art & Culture. Funders
This exhibition is generously supported by the Edward C. and Ann T. Roberts Foundation and the J. Walton Bissell Foundation. Additional support is provided by the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism
