A Whole New Game: Sports & Games in Art
March 24 – May 3, 2014
How are sports and games interpreted by
contemporary artists? Michael Ivins, the official
photographer of the Boston Red Sox, and
painter Tom Glover, pay tribute to New England’s
favorite team and its iconic setting, Fenway
Park. Cheryl Hochberg imagines a rugby game
with a wild twist. New Craft Artists in Action,
Susan Maffei and Elizabeth Morisette bring a
handcrafted aesthetic to the basketball court,
the playing field, and the poker game. Stephen
Capogna’s gold paintings monumentalize a very
small object. Ken Morgan’s prints capture the
strange and colorful sideshows of the traveling
Tom Glover, Pesky Pole
circus. Sarah Petite’s encaustic paintings take
inspiration from game theory and board games. The exhibition includes material on PEA’s own
sports history from the Academy archives.
