Kunsthal Nikolaj in Copenhagen has kicked-off the upcoming football World Cup with an exhibition of works that in different ways are linked to the world of football.
In the spirit of the game most of the works are pretty playful. Team-shirts are remixed in Floor Wesseling’s Blood in Blood out and the very template of the game is challenged in Asger Jorn’s Three Sided Football (pictured). Asger Jorn developed the concept in the sixties and today the game is still occasionally played.
Other more political works in the exhibition include www.0100101110101101.orgs legendary culture hack Nike Ground.
The exhibition runs from April 22 through August 8 2010.
Fantastic contemporary art. Great example of the fact that art can used and made everywhere.
