Art of the Game

Art of the Game offers comprehensive perspectives from artists around the world, examining both the experience of playing and the phenomenon of spectatorship. Visitors are invited to explore the history of the world’s most universal game and its deeply rooted connections to cultures across continents, each interpreting the sport in distinct ways.

The exhibition spans centuries, with works referencing one of the earliest documented forms of the sport, known as cuju. Themes of identity are illustrated, as artists explore ideas of femininity and masculinity, consumerism, colonialism, documentation, cultural deconstruction, pivotal historical moments in soccer, and the legendary players that continue to inspire generations.
