DescThe World Chess Hall of Fame creates engaging exhibitions celebrating the game of chess, its history, and its impact on art and culture. Through these exhibitions and innovative educational programming, the WCHOF hopes to popularize chess among a new and diverse audience. The WCHOF also seeks to serve as a repository for artifacts related to the rich history of the game of chess. A Memorable Life: A Glimpse into the Complex Mind of Bobby Fischer July 24 2014 June 7 2015 A Memorable Life: A Glimpse into the Complex Mind of Bobby Fischer explores the brilliant career of one of the greatest American chess players of all time. Newly donated artifacts from the collection of the World Chess Hall of Fame and never-before-exhibited materials from the Fischer Library of Dr. Jeanne and Rex Sinquefield highlight some of the chess champions most significant accomplishments. Living Like Kings: The The Unexpected Collision of Chess and Hip Hop Culture October 9, 2014 April 26, 2015 Living Like Kings examined the unexpected but vibrant intersections between chess and hip hop culture. Inspired by the work of Adisa Banjoko and the Bay Area-based peace and knowledge-promoting Hip-Hop Chess Federation, the exhibition was centered on an immersive, multimedia experience created by Saint Louis artist Benjamin Kaplan and produced by Nicole Hudson. The piece incorporates archival footage and original videos, music, photography, custom-designed type and illustrations, and a series of interviews with figures from both the hip hop and chess worlds. Wall murals completed by Peat "EYEZ" Wollaeger complemented Kaplan's work. With an emphasis on experiences of Saint Louis talent and experts, Living Like Kings celebrates themes that the two communities share: history, strategy, spirituality, process, creativity, education, and symbolism. Living Like Kings: The Learning Lab October 9, 2014 April 26, 2015 From fall 2014 through spring 2015, WCHOFs second floor gallery served as a companion Learning Lab for the Living Like Kings exhibition. The lab allowed visitors to participate in the show through interactive music and video stations, hands-on art opportunities, and educational presentations. Marcel Dzama: Mischief Makes a Move May 14, 2015 October 18, 2015 Described as a "Dadaist love story," Une danse des bouffons (or A jesters dance) is Marcel Dzamas fictionalized account of the real-life romantic affair between the Dada artist and chess master Marcel Duchamp and the Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins. Featuring musician Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth, Belgian actress and model Hannelore Knuts (both playing the role of Martins in alternating versions of the film), and a surreal panoply of elements derived from art, dance, and chess, Mischief Makes a Move is an exploration of the mythological figure known as the Trickster, whose pranks frequently blur the line between good and evil. Commissioned by the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, Une danse has been shown at the Kunstmuseum Thun in Switzerland, the David Zwirner Gallery in New York, and in Saint Louis at the World Chess Hall of Fame. Created as an homage to the famed Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg, the film also includes references to Dzamas artistic heroes including Duchamp, Francis Picabia, Joseph Beuys, Francisco de Goya, and Oskar Schlemmer, among others. The score is composed by Will Butler, Jeremy Gara, and Tim Kingsbury-all members of the band Arcade Fire. Centered on Une danse, Mischief Makes a Move includes sculptures, masks, dioramas, and works on paper inspired by the film as well as a chess set created exclusively for this exhibition. Additional works in the show include the videos Robot Chess (2014), which is on view in the gallery, and Death Disco Dance (2011). Displayed in the front window of the World Chess Hall of Fame (WCHOF), the latter work presents an array of dancers dressed as chess pieces to visitors and passersby at the Saint Louis Chess Campus. In 2012, the WCHOF was honored to serve as the venue for the artists first solo exhibition in the Midwest titled Marcel Dzama: The End Game. The WCHOF was proud to bring Dzama, whose work beautifully complements our mission to celebrate the intersection of culture, art, history, and chess, back to Saint Louis. Encore! Ivory Chess Treasures from the Jon Crumiller Collection May 14, 2015 October 18, 2015 Encore! Ivory Chess Treasures from the Jon Crumiller Collection revisits one of the most stunning chess collections in the United States. Focusing solely on antique ivory sets and boards, this exhibition showcased the incredible range and use of the highly sought-after and now, very controversial medium. Used for thousands of years to create decorative and utilitarian objects, ivorys monetary value is reflected in its nickname "white gold." Skilled artisans have transformed the tusks of mammoths, elephants, and walruses (among other animals) into highly decorative and prized possessions. The materials creamy white color and hard texture lent itself well to the creation of musical instrument components, religious icons, combs, jewelry, and gaming pieces-especially chess sets and embellished boxes and boards. Artists and craftspeople created both solid, simple playing sets and elaborate and delicately carved ornamental sets from the treasured material. This exhibition showcased ivory pieces and related objects from one of the greatest collections of chess sets in the United States. They date from the 16th through 20th centuries. By examining the over 80 chess sets, and numerous boards and tables included in Encore! Ivory Chess Treasures from the Jon Crumiller Collection, visitors to the World Chess Hall of Fame (WCHOF) were able to study the evolution of the game of chess during this time, appreciate the fantastic craftsmanship of each object, and learn about different artistic techniques from cultures around the globe. This exhibition also created a discussion about the beauty and cultural value of the antique sets as well as the importance of laws that safeguard the remaining animal populations. Battle on the Board: Chess during World War II June 25, 2015 January 17, 2016 Though chess is often perceived as a game of war, it also serves as a means of passing long hours or as an aid in recuperation for members of the military. Battle on the Board: Chess during World War II provides insight into how a game modeled upon battle can provide a sense of home and community as well as demonstrating the dramatic changes the war brought to the game. The exhibition includes prisoner of war chess sets from the collections of the National Museum of the Marine Corps and National Museum of the United States Air Force, archival material from the John G. White Chess Collection at the Cleveland Public Library, and highlights from the collection of the World Chess Hall of Fame. Ladies; Knight: A Female Perspective on Chess October 29, 2015 May 1, 2016 Ladies Knight: A Female Perspective on Chess examines how a game often dominated by men inspires contemporary artists. The exhibition presents works by Crystal Fischetti, Debbie Han, Barbara Kruger, Liliya Lifanova, Goshka Macuga, Sophie Matisse, Yoko Ono, Daniela Raytchev, Jennifer Shahade, Yuko Suga, Diana Thater, and Rachel Whiteread. Their diverse interpretations of the game range from the playful and feminine to the serious, and encourage dialogue about subjects like crime, language, peace and conflict, and inequality. The World Chess Hall of Fame (WCHOF) endeavors to present exhibitions that honor the games pioneers, reflect its significant cultural impact, and appeal to a wide audience. In 2015 and 2016, the WCHOF is launching an initiative to encourage more women to take up the game. In February 2016, we will open another exhibition, Her Turn: Revolutionary Women of Chess, which will explore key historic moments in womens chess history. Supporting these two exhibitions about women, the WCHOF provided an array of programming for all ages and groups with chess classes and tournaments for girls and women, beginners classes taught by female chess stars, and lectures and entertaining evening programs with the help of its sister organization, the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis. Kings, Queens & Castles October 31, 2015 September 11, 2016 The World Chess Hall of Fame is pleased to present Kings, Queens & Castles, an innovative exhibition which brings the chess board to life and provides an engaging introduction to individual chess pieces and game strategy. Commissioned by the World Chess Hall of Fame, the exhibition was developed in partnership with The Magic House. Following its debut at the World Chess Hall of Fame, it will travel to select Childrens Museums nationally. Explore a castle, become your favorite chess piece on a life-size board, and create your own crown, all while learning about one of the worlds oldest and best loved games. The World Chess Hall of Fame (WCHOF) is pleased toDesc
