Do art and football go together? OOF is a new magazine that believes they have been bound together for a long time.
In match programme format, OOF tackles a broad range of subject matter to look at how football has influenced art and artists, uncovering various milestones, passions, beliefs and hidden signifiers.
You don't have to be massively into either pursuit to sorry get a kick out of this.
About Issue 13 from the publisher:
Unlucky for some, but if the number 13 was good enough for players like Eusebio, Maicon and no less than two separate Müllers, it's good enough for OOF. Issue 13 is packed full of our usual art & football bollocks: we've got art historical portraiture by Louis Bever, a riff on Manet and Mbappé by artist Henry Taylor, poultry-tastic paintings by Jack Hirons, ancestral worship by Gabriela González-Leal, the choreography of Arjen Robben's dives, the latest film by cover star Marianna Simnett, plus the most serious and comprehensive exploration of the artistic significance of football tops you'll ever read. Sounds like OOF, eh.
