Art for Your Head


The latest project by Juan and Ricardo Compean

The “Immigration Cup 2008” is a customized foosball table, which takes a humorous approach on the current immigration debate in America. It is on exhibit as part of the “Declaration Of Immigration” art show at the National Museum of Mexican Art (NMMA) in Chicago, IL.

In addition to seeing a first class art exhibit featuring the works of over 70 artists, the fine people at the NMMA are allowing visitors to PLAY the “Immigration Cup 2008” foosball table during museum hours!!
