Professional wrestling blurs the lines between performance art, athletics, and camp. From wrestlers with artistic practices to exhibitions that capture the sport’s larger-than-life energy, this conversation explores the growing exchange between contemporary art and wrestling. Artists, wrestlers, and curators come together to reflect on creative life inside and outside the ring while previewing the upcoming exhibition House Show: Power, Spectacle, and Pro Wrestling at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg.
Featuring Lee Moriarty (Professional Wrestler; Artist, Get in the Game), Thekla Kaischauri (Professional Wrestler; Artist, House Show, MFA St. Petersburg), Shaun Leonardo (Artist, Get in the Game; Executive Director, Socrates Sculpture Park), and Adam Abdalla (Curator and Creative Director; Founder, Cultural Counsel and Orange Crush).
