Football City, Art United captures the essence of football as a creative medium intertwining art and sport. The exhibition showcases 11 international athletes collaborating with 11 contemporary artists to explore the emotional and societal significance of football. It presents works that challenge viewers to perceive sport not solely as competition, but as a visual language expressing movement, tension, and identity. This duality transforms the game into a rich narrative, collapsing the boundaries between physical performance and artistic interpretation, making it a multidimensional cultural experience.
The exhibition pairs 11 international athletes with 11 contemporary artists in an expansive meditation on the game's emotional and societal dimensions, bringing a global conversation to the industrial confines of Aviva Studios.
The works presented throughout Football City, Art United ask viewers to look beyond competition and toward the subtleties of movement, tension, and space.
The Field (after Raí), created by artist Alvaro Barrington in collaboration with Brazilian football legend Raí, turns the arena itself into a metaphor.
These works underscore a central idea of the exhibition: that athletic movement can be read not just as physical performance but as visual language.
