False Start offers unconventional representations of sporting activities in works by Andrea Bowers, Josef Dabernig, Sharon Lockhart, Paul Pfeiffer, Cristián Silva, Javier Tellez, and Uri Tzaig. These works expose the alienation that is a part of mass spectacle and reveal the incompleteness of conventional renderings of sports events, which emphasizes group membership and integration. A dialectic of affiliation and difference, feeling part of the crowd yet alone, is interlaced throughout the works in False Start.
