Art for dogs? Mexico museum welcomes pets to new exhibition

Mexico City’s Museo Tamayo has put together a modern art exhibition for the enjoyment of humans and their furry friends.

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.

In the heartwarming tale of rescue, renewal, and unyielding hope, a sinking dog’s hopeless wish comes true, inspiring us all with the power of compassion and determination.

After a dog fell down a deep hole, she swam in circles for hours, anxiously hoping for help. She eventually grew so fatigued and weak that she couldn’t swim any more, and that’s when she was discovered.

A local eventually discovered the unfortunate dog anxiously hanging to the well’s side and phoned Animal Aid Unlimited, hoping for assistance. The rescue team went out to find her, but when they arrived, it appeared like the poor dog had given up hope.

She appeared disheartened, leaning against the well’s wall, until she heard a noise above and lifted her head.

When she realized that relief had arrived, the fatigued dog collected all of her remaining power and began swimming in circles, overjoyed to see her rescuers.

As a rescuer was lowered down the well, the beautiful dog continued to swim around and around. She happily greeted him and then allowed him place her in a net.

The rescuers above then began carefully lifting the net up to safety, till she was finally secure in their arms.

Rescuers rushed the adorable dog to the vet to ensure she wasn’t wounded, then gave her plenty of room to recuperate and lots of love and hugs, which she gratefully embraced. The unfortunate dog would have drowned if it hadn’t been for the wonderful rescuers. She seemed to have recognized this and is obviously thankful to them for sparing her life.
