\n\tThe Museo Jumex<\/a>, a private museum in Mexico City established by top collector Eugenio L\u00f3pez Alonso in 2013, hopes to score a golazo with one of its exhibitions next year, timed to the upcoming FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cF\u00fatbol y Arte. Esa misma emoci\u00f3n\u201d(Football & Art.

\n\tOrganized by Mexican art critic and independent curator Guillermo Santamarina, \u201cF\u00fatbol y Arte\u201d will bring together some 100 works by 60 artists from around the world. Architect Mauricio Rocha, known for his addition to the Museo Anahuacalli in 2021 and designing the studio of his mother, photographer Graciela Iturbide, will create the exhibition design that will see the museum transformed into various elements symbolic of the World\u2019s Game.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe exhibition will be divided into different sections focused on \u201cgender, community, identity, and universality, exploring both the playful power of the game and its critical and political dimensions,\u201d according to a release.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe works on view will range from Marta Minuj\u00edn\u2019s 1977 painting of a colossal blonde woman in bikini laying over a soccer stadium to a 2007 black-and-white photograph by Graciela Iturbide of a torn-up football net on a beach in Italy. More recent works include photograph documentation of an intervention by Melanie Smith and Rafael Ortega in which visitors held up dozens of posters to form an image of a pre-Columbian artifact at Estadio Azteca.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Museo Jumex has also commissioned Diego Berruecos, I\u00f1aki Bonillas, and Sof\u00eda Echeverri to make new work for the exhibition, while Mexico City\u2013based artist Clotilde Jim\u00e9nez has created the exhibition\u2019s visual identity. In the museum\u2019s outdoor plaza, Mexican artist collective Tercerunquinto will present Tribunas (Stands), a sculptural installation of bleachers made from recycled seats from Estadio Azteca.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Museo Jumex isn\u2019t the only museum to look at the link between art and sports. Last year, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art organized a 200-plus work exhibition titled \u201cGet in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture,\u201d which is currently on view at the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas, and will travel to the P\u00e9rez Art Museum Miami next year. This fall, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, opened \u201cPersonal Best,\u201d an exhibition showcasing the work of six local artist-athletes.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement about \u201cF\u00fatbol y Arte,\u201d Santamarina said, \u201cCategorically, modern visual culture finds its most resplendent peak in the network of representations and social rituals related to the game of soccer. Soccer is a system of imagination and information that lives and breathes the complex reality of the human species in the 21st century, and indeed, the incalculable emotions around it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Museo Jumex, a private museum in Mexico City established by top collector Eugenio L\u00f3pez Alonso in 2013,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":161377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[90217,307,304,305,306,308,93,61,60,90218],"class_list":{"0":"post-161376","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-2026-world-cup","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-artsanddesign","12":"tag-artsdesign","13":"tag-design","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-museo-jumex"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
