Football : almost offside

A different take on football!

In just a few decades, football has become omnipresent. As well as being the sport that is the most widely played and watched around the world, it has become a genuine phenomenon, the reflection of humanity and its passions. Looking beyond the sport itself and its rules, the fascination it exerts raises many other issues of identity, globalisation, the spectacle and human relations, expressing not only the values, but also some of the excesses of our societies.

These works by contemporary artists offer a fresh insight into this worldwide phenomenon, in an original exhibition design accompanied by texts, quotations and videos.
