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.
Stray cat refuses to eat unless she gets food in a bag
The bond between a mother and her offspring transcends species, showcasing the unwavering strength of maternal love.
In the heart of a bustling city, a stray cat named Dongsuk found solace in the care of a compassionate woman who provided sustenance for numerous feline companions.
However, the woman noticed a peculiar change in Dongsuk’s behavior when she suddenly refused to eat unless the food was presented in a plastic bag. Intrigued by this anomaly, the woman embarked on a daily ritual of preparing a bag of food exclusively for Dongsuk.
Curiosity piqued, the woman decided to shadow Dongsuk one day, unraveling the poignant truth behind the cat’s peculiar behavior.
To her astonishment, she discovered that Dongsuk wasn’t consuming the food for herself but rather for her sole surviving kitten, a miniature replica of her with vibrant orange and white fur.
With tender care, Dongsuk would delicately offer the bag to her offspring, ensuring the little one’s nourishment before partaking herself.
Moved by this profound display of maternal instinct, the woman felt compelled to extend a helping hand to Dongsuk and her precious offspring.
The heartwarming tale of Dongsuk and her kitten serves as a testament to the enduring compassion and selflessness exhibited by individuals dedicated to the welfare of animals in need.
Let us celebrate and share this touching narrative to honor the kindness and empathy that enriches the lives of both humans and animals alike.
