The Sports Analyst

You are the Sports Analyst! Inquisitive and discerning, you find great fulfillment in the thorough investigation of topics that fascinate you. While others might dabble, you’re deeply invested — that’s why people look to you for your opinion on quality. You want to be moved by a good game, and your lifelong quest is to recreate that feeling of wonder, using your strong internal compass to lead the way.

As the Sports Analyst you would most likely enjoy:

Ernie Barnes, Fumble in Line

Floor 7, Zone 1

A professional football player turned artist, Barnes was nicknamed “Big Rembrandt” by teammates for sketching on the sidelines. “The same qualities which make a successful football player are the same found in a successful artist,” he wrote in his 1995 memoir. “Dedication, single-mindedness, discipline, and skill.”

Maurizio Cattelan, Stadium

Floor 7, Zone 2

Time to start recruiting — we invite you to play this twenty-two-person foosball table. Cattelan first unveiled this monumental interactive sculpture in Italy to critique a wave of heightened anti-immigrant sentiment in the country, sponsoring a team of North African migrants that faced off against a largely white Italian team in a game of foosball.

Julie Mehretu, Stadia I

Floor 7, Zone 1

Look closely to see the structures of a stadium emerge in black ink amid abstracted national flags and logos of news media. Mehretu created Stadia I to examine the fervor of American nationalism in the wake of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and mounting excitement for that year’s summer Olympic Games.
