Mario García Torres con Jorge Campos

Museo de Arte de Zapopan presents El que la cambia la falla, an exhibition by Mario García Torres with Jorge Campos.

El que la cambia la falla brings together for the first time the creative drive of former goalkeeper Jorge Campos and the conceptual practice of visual artist Mario García Torres in an exhibition that takes as its axis the most solitary and definitive moment in soccer: penalty kicks. That moment when the team disappears and leaves a duel between two, where a decision and a precise gesture can change the course of a life, functions here as a metaphor to explore where the creative act is born —in the mind or in instinct— and how skill, attitude, and imagination intersect. Campos contributes not only the technical memory and charisma that made him a national icon, but also the inventiveness of his memorable uniforms; García Torres responds with works born from a conversation between conceptual rigor and intuitive impulse, translating the tension of the penalty kick into pieces that question and expand the notion of art.

With a body of more than twenty pieces and videos, developed specifically for the MAZ and structured around moments where graphics and image converge —through the emblematic patterns of Campos's uniforms— and movement and action through the ball, the exhibition invites the public to experience the intensity of the decisive instant and to reconsider the gesture —whether precise or failed— as a generator of meaning.
