Since the late 90s, KAWS began creating a cast of characters that populate his work. Seen together, they become their own KAWS family. The exhibition takes its title and thematic jumping-off point from the artist’s sculpture, FAMILY (2021), which features four of KAWS’s characters posed as a nuclear family. As witnessed throughout the show, the relationships between the figures can be complex, familiar, and astonishingly heartfelt entryways into human emotions.

From the Olympics to the local recreation league, sports are a highly personal and inexhaustible subject for many contemporary artists and designers, who respond to the inner drive of the athlete, the almost religious fervor of the fan, and the tension between individuals and systems that govern how games are played, and who gets to play them. Through Get in the Game, visitors will experience how – through sports – some of our most iconic images have been formed and unforgettable human and social stories have played out.
