Among the works included are Jonathan Borofsky's Untitled ping pong table, which all are encouraged to play, it posits the opponents at odds with each
other as one side of the table is a «plus»
and the
other is a «minus»; Andreas Gursky's large scale photograph depicts a soccer match between the Dutch
and French teams,
however with no ball in sight

animals on a used
children's blanket, creating a tableaux about loss of innocence; Kirsten Geisler's interactive female cyborg beckons the viewer with sound recognition software to engage in a dialogue of sorts; Yinka Shonibare's sculpture Hopscotch incorporates a classic
children's game with headless mannequins dressed in Colonial attire
and Sol LeWitt plays a game of chance in his wall drawing # 716 from 1991 in which there are eight possible lines (vertical lines, horizontal lines, arcs, etc) to be placed in each square of a grid covered wall.
