Observingarts: something quite different - exploring football through art
PIGSKIN focuses
on the recorded imagery of the culture that surrounds the NFL. This does not
necessarily include athletic portraiture or motion photography while athletes
perform, but an art that revolves more along the sport that consumes America.
Football has, arguably, the most 'larger than life' characteristics in comparison
to other sports. The rivalry translates into deep love and pure hatred between
teams, cities, and states. Whether it’s the logo, the mascots, or the rush of
the game, the emotion that lies within each fan is immeasurable. The importance
of winning, dedicating entire Sundays to a game, and the fights that arise
contribute to a cultural collision of art and sports.
32 artists were given the opportunity to create an art piece that best
represents their team of choice. This exhibition, no matter what the artistic
outcome is, it may run the risk of having pieces that are obscure and even
risqué. But one thing is for sure, Pigskin will be all about
football, and simultaneously, nothing about football.
More about exhibit.

Observingarts: The Broad opened on September 20, Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES —For the first time in its 40-year history, the postwar and
contemporary art collection assembled by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad will be shown
to the public in its most comprehensive installation when The Broad opened on September 20.
Galleries on the 15,000-square-foot first floor focus almost exclusively on the collection’s most
recent artworks, dating from 2000 to the present—many of which will have their debut showing
in Los Angeles. Those works include Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room, 2013, a mirrorlined
chamber housing a dazzling and seemingly endless LED light display.
