ONLINE: IT'S IN THE GAME '17 Screening with Q&A

TUESDAY JUN 30, 2020 5 PM PDT

This special livestreaming of IT'S IN THE GAME '17 or Mirror Gag for Vitrine and Projection (16:32 min., 2017) by Sondra Perry is followed by a conversation between the artist and Hammer chief curator Connie Butler.

Part of the Hammer Contemporary Collection and previously presented in the 2019 Hammer exhibition Celebration of Our Enemies, IT’S IN THE GAME '17 contrasts the colonialist histories of art museums with the true story of Perry’s twin brother’s likeness being used without permission in an NCAA March Madness video game.
