Mario García Torres with Jorge Campos: El que la cambia la falla
From June 7 to September 6, 2026
Curator: Viviana Kuri Haddad
Luis Barragán Gallery
El que la cambia la falla (You Change It, You Lose It) brings together for the first time the creative drive of former goalkeeper Jorge Campos and the intuitive conceptual practice of visual artist Mario García Torres in an exhibition centered on football’s most solitary and decisive moment: the penalty kick. The moment the team disappears and only a duel between two remains, where a single decision and a precise gesture can alter the course of a life. This exhibition finds a metaphor for exploring where the creative act originates: 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 behind his memorable uniforms; García Torres responds with works born from a dialogue between conceptual rigor and intuitive impulse, translating the tension of the penalty kick into pieces that challenge and expand conventional notions of art.
Featuring more than twenty works and videos developed specifically for Museo de Arte de Zapopan (MAZ), the exhibition is structured through moments in which graphic language and image converge, from Campos’s uniforms to emblematic patterns alongside movement and action articulated through the football itself. The exhibition invites audiences to experience the intensity of the decisive moment and to reconsider the gesture whether precise or failed as a generator of meaning.
