| IRS990/Desc | 0 | The 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.
