my little brother is teaching me how to play chess. we don't have a chess board so we are using a checkers board instead, he has cut out thirty two little slips of paper and on each piece of paper he has written the name of a chess piece. it doesn't work very well. a sigh of frustration sends the chess pieces fluttering.
Roman Mitch - Artspace's most recent curatorial intern is a bit of a chess expert. In correlation with the exhibition 'caraway downs' he has written a small book on chess & art.
'I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialised. Chess is much purer than art in its social position.'
-Marcel Duchamp
