David Little ’85, curator of photographs at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and a member of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art Advisory Council, has been garnering positive reviews for the MIA exhibition, The Sports Show, which, perhaps counterintuitively, offers “more social commentary than celebration,” as it looks at how photography, film and new media have transformed age-old leisure activities into the pop culture phenomena of sports in our day.
The exhibition catalogue, Sports Show: Athletics as Image and Spectacle, is available at The Bowdoin Store and The Museum Shop.
