Mixed Signals: Artists Consider Masculinity in Sports

Mixed Signals: Artists Consider Masculinity in Sports

in Publications

Mixed Signals demonstrates that the male athlete is a far more ambiguous, polyvalent figure in our collective cultural imagination than ever before. Using wit, sarcasm, and controversy, these artists challenge the cultural assumptions on innate gender. Instead, they emphasize the many ways masculinity is performed, coded, and socially constructed in the world of sports. The result is a collection of startling, unsettling, and ultimately revealing look at a prolific institution in our culture.
