SF MOMA Exhibit: Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture.
The Design Bay Area Social Club is a series of events curated to bring our community together for social connections under an umbrella of activities. The activities are casual in nature and are open to everyone. Introductions will be made so that everyone can socialize during the exhibition! If the group is feeling up for it, we can find a spot for coffee or drinks post-exhibit.

Exhibition design by fuseproject, the leading design and innovation firm led by Yves Béhar, bring the visual and emotional exuberance of sports into the museum context and immerse visitors in the thrill of a sporting event. Get in the Game takes over the museum’s entire Floor 7, and fuseproject’s design evokes the feeling of entering a stadium and encourages visitors to discover their own path through the exhibition’s wide range of offerings.
The presentation is organized around five key themes that invite audiences to look at the intersection of visual art, sports and design from multiple perspectives: Mind and Body, Winning and Losing, A Fan’s Life, Breaking Records and Rules and Field of Play. Throughout the exhibition, video and photography of major events in sports history will ground the artworks in a larger context and offer new insights into the role of sports in social change.
To reflect the remarkable range of athletic interests and the ever-changing definition of sports, the exhibition features art and design objects connected to team events, such as soccer, basketball, football and baseball; individual competition, including running, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, figure skating, motorsports and boxing; and less conventional, popular sports, such as skateboarding, surfing, martial arts and video gaming.
