Artists have always been inspired by the bond between humans and their canine companions.
Now, one Mexican museum wants to bring the art world to dogs themselves.
Mexico City’s Museo Tamayo has put together a modern art exhibition for the enjoyment of humans and their furry friends.
Lorenza Errasti, curatorial assistant for the museum’s collection, said the exhibition is a selection of works from the museum’s collection and was intended for the enjoyment of owners and their dogs alike.
“The readings of the exhibition are based on emotions,” according to Errasti. “And the affectionate relationship that exists between an owner and their dog is always there, and even more so now that we open this space for that.”
The exhibition, #ArteyPerros (“Art and Dogs”) includes pieces by Haris Epaminonda, Max Ernst, Mathias Goeritz, Pierre Huyghe, Danh Vo and Mario Garcia Torres as well as a poem by Luis Felipe Fabre. It is the exhibition’s second instalment, with the first held in 2020.
The response to the initiative so far has been positive, as many people enjoyed the chance to appreciate the artwork along with their furry friends.
“I like to take my dog everywhere,” said Mila Cohen, a sixth-grade student, near a Max Ernst painting.
“It would be incredible if there were more spaces like this, with art, where we could spend time with our dogs,” noted Manu Echeverria, a photographer.
“After 15 Years, Dog’s Tearful Birthday Celebration with First-Ever Cake”
Amidst the charming locality where cheerfulness reverberated in every nook and cranny, a delightful event was taking place. A furry companion, who had been waiting for this moment for 15 years, was finally getting to relish the enchantment of a birthday gala – complete with a cake decked with twinkling candles.
At the appointed hour, a group of loved ones had gathered around in eager anticipation to witness a momentous event. At the center of attention was a faithful dog whose eyes shone with excitement and curiosity. The atmosphere was electric as everyone joined in singing the classic song of “Happy Birthday.”
The dog seemed to sense the importance of the occasion and responded with a contagious wag of its tail. The room was filled with an undeniable sense of happiness as the cake, complete with decorations suitable for dogs, made its way to the center of the gathering. Excitement reached its peak as the birthday girl blew out the candles, signaling the beginning of a new phase in her life. Love overflowed from every corner of the room.
But it wasn’t just the flickering candles that caught everyone’s attention. It was also the unexpected sight of a solitary tear rolling down the furry cheek of the dog. The room fell into a hushed silence as the observers exchanged glances filled with a mix of surprise and tenderness. This tear was a silent testimony to the years of unconditional loyalty and the simple desire for a moment of celebration, conveying a heartfelt message.
As the birthday cake was presented to the dog, the room erupted in cheers and applause. The dog, now surrounded by its loved ones, cautiously sniffed the cake before taking a tentative bite. The taste of the special treat seemed to transport the canine companion to a world of ecstasy, and in that magical moment, all the waiting became irrelevant.
The birthday festivities continued well into the evening, with plenty of merriment, amusing anecdotes, and the delightful sound of a dog’s happy barks. This was no ordinary party; it was a touching tribute to the passing of time and the unbridled joy that our furry friends bring into our lives. The celebration was a testament to patience, love, and the power of long-awaited reunions.
As the night wound down, the dog snuggled up in a cozy bed surrounded by the remnants of a joyous occasion. The earlier tears had melted away, replaced by the radiant glow of contentment shining from the canine’s eyes. It was an unforgettable gathering that would be treasured by all who were present, serving as a reminder that our loyal companions deserve their moment in the spotlight, regardless of how long it takes to arrive.
