Beautiful game
What do sports and art, or more precisely, football and art have in common? The idea behind the exhibition entitled The Beautiful Game is not to ponder about and draw parallels between football and art from an aesthetic point of view, but to present a selection of art projects in which football appears as a metaphor for things like power, money, the workings of the art system, the role of art in contemporary society, the identification with idols, social questions, etc.
