Now on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture. The exhibition explores the powerful influence of sport in our culture, and is the museum’s most expansive presentation dedicated to a subject with more than 200 artworks that include paintings, sculptures, photographs, design objects — together with sports gear, gaming and apparel — by some of today’s most influential artists.

The exhibition is organized around five key themes that 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. Among the more than 70 artists featured in the exhibition are Emma Amos, Ernie Barnes, Kevin Beasley, Karla Diaz, Derek Fordjour, Jeffrey Gibson, Michael Jang, Ivan Salcido, Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi, Catherine Opie, Paul Pfeiffer, Cheryl Pope, Robert Pruitt, Ben Sakoguchi, William Scott, Joan Semmel, Gary Simmons, Tabitha Soren and Hank Willis Thomas.

Goodnight Vision

 

DR. ANDREW HUBERMAN

In collaboration with Dr. Andrew Huberman, leading performance eyewear brand ROKA has just released the ROKA x Huberman Wind Down™ Collection. This new line of blue light-blocking glasses is specifically designed to help you wind down at the end of the day, improving sleep quality and supporting overall mental and physical health.

Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured Professor of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine, and host of the regularly ranked #1 health podcast, Huberman Lab. With a massive cult-like following, Huberman has established himself as a leading authority and advocate for optimal health practices, emphasizing the importance of ophthalmology and light in regulating the body’s sleep and awake cycles.

“One of the primary determinants of whether you feel really alert or sleepy is light — particularly light perceived by your eyes,” says Huberman. “The Wind Down glasses are designed to be worn specifically in the evening and at night when you want to relax, reducing the blue light inputs that contradict natural circadian rhythms and allowing you to transition to a calmer, sleep-ready state.” Read More

Ski In Ski Art

 

 

American ski and snowboard brand K2 has just launched the all-new Omen Ski Collection with Berlin-based artist Julia Schimautz for the winter 2025 season. The artist’s vibrant designs embody the spirit of the Omen Ski Collection, the twin-tip freestyle ski line that offers durability, performance, and a whole lot of fun for park, pipe, and street skiing.

Schimautz is a highly regarded graphic designer known for her bold colors and playful multi-disciplinary art forms. Her graphics for the Omen Ski Collection utilize risograph printing — a technique that blends elements of screen printing and photocopying, creating distinctive blurred shapes through intentional misalignments. Combining vintage aesthetics with the imperfections of printing processes, the result are one-of-a-kind vibrant graphics and a whole new look in ski design. Read More
