Sonderausstellung IN MOTION - ART & FOOTBALL

In the organizer's words:

The German Football Museum in Dortmund is presenting its new special exhibition In Motion - Art & Football to coincide with UEFA EURO 2024. The immersive show can be seen in the museum's Theater of Dreams and runs until 5 January 2025.

The exhibition In Motion - Art & Football brings together an unprecedented showcase of European modernist painting on the subject of soccer. In an immersive spatial staging, 175 works of art from national and international collections are presented, including some rarely shown works by René Magritte, Paul Klee, Banksy, Nicolas de Staël, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Willi Baumeister, Felix Nussbaum, L. S. Lowry, Robert Delaunay, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró and Umberto Boccioni.

The concept of the exhibition is designed like the European Championship itself: Every nation participating in UEFA EURO 2024 is represented by at least one artist, underlining the basic idea of a diverse, united Europe.

The expansive exhibition format is unusual: the artworks are combined with film and photography in a large-scale installation covering 1,000 square meters. Noises, sounds and tones effectively absorb the sound of the 20th century. The exhibition operates at the interface between digital and analog art mediation, between film and performance.
