Oh, that's what that thing was. I just graduated from OSU and I had no clue wtf that exhibit was supposed to be about. The big posters made it look like gay football or something.
This sounds like a very interesting exhibit exploring the intersection of sports, masculinity and race. The photo of the athlete who branded himself with the Nike logo is a brilliant commentary on how sports and athletes are commodities in our culture.
The marketing for the show is very smart -- anyone presenting a ticket from a current season OSU sporting event gets a two-for-one admission. They also have discussions with famous OSU athletes at the gallery.
A thought-provoking show with mass appeal -- do you think a local gallery would consider bringing this to Seattle?
