A Mexico City museum is hosting a soccer-themed art exhibition to coincide with next year’s FIFA World Cup.
Fútbol y Arte at Museo Jumex will feature 100 works by 60 artists in CDMX’s Polanco neighborhood; while, across town, the Estadio Azteca hosts five World Cup matches, including the tournament’s kick-off one.
In addition to commissioning new works for the exhibition, Fútbol y Arte will include some well-known ones, including Melanie Smith and Rafael Ortega’s Estadio Azteca, Malleable Deed — in which dozens of public school students hold up posters at Estadio Azteca to form an image of a pre-Hispanic artifact — and Marta Minujín’s My World Cup, which shows a gigantic bikini-clad blonde woman sprawling out over a stadium.
