Nearly everyone has had a personal experience with sports, whether good or bad. Exploring how these experiences affect an individual’s psychology, the University w88 slot exhibition “I Like Winners: Sport & Selfhood” runs until Feb. 13 in the Sheppard Fine Arts Gallery.
The exhibition features 24 artists, each creating one to six pieces of artwork. Coming from all different career levels and across the country, the artists created video, photography, painting, sculpture, performing w88 slot and installation pieces.
Marjorie Vecchio, show curator and w88 slot director, thinks this show can relate to everybody.
“I think w88 slot deeply affect us all in lots of different ways and they affect our culture a lot and I want the individuals to reflect on that,” Vecchio said.
Taking on a topic much different than most shows she curates, Vecchio wanted to do a w88 slot she never thought she’d do. Even the reception looked different than past exhibitions, featuring a performance by Matthew Slaats and a race between 11 Reno runners.
“We&w88 slot;ve totally branched out into the audience in a really different way,” Vecchio said.
While many w88 slot exhibitions centered around sports focus on masculinity, “I Like Winners: Sport & Selfhood” takes a broader look at individuals in general. The exhibition looks at what it means to be a winner and how sports affect the athletes, fans and even the mere spectators.
Vecchio said that this is a much more optimistic w88 slot than the others she’s curated and there’s no way someone can leave the w88 slot in a bad mood.
“We’re in a recession,” she said. “Everyone I know looks half dead or depressed…we need a happy w88 slot now.”
Located in the Church Fine w88 slot building, the Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday-Thursday and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, or by appointment. For more information, go to The Department of w88 slot.
