TOM HACKNEY: CORRESPONDING SQUARES: PAINTING THE CHESS GAMES OF MARCEL DUCHAMP - MAY 19, 2016 TO SEPTEMBER 11, 2016 IN HIS ONGOING SERIES OF CHESS PAINTINGS, BRITISH ARTIST TOM HACKNEY TRANSLATES THE CHESS GAMES OF INFLUENTIAL ARTIST AND SELF-AVOWED CHESS FANATIC MARCEL DUCHAMP INTO VIVID GEOMETRIC ABSTRACTIONS. WITH A MISSION TO INTERPRET THE GAME OF CHESS AND ITS CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC SIGNIFICANCE, THE WORLD CHESS HALL OF FAME was HONORED TO PRESENT TOM HACKNEY'S FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION IN THE UNITED STATES. TOM HACKNEY: CORRESPONDING SQUARES: PAINTING THE CHESS GAMES OF MARCEL DUCHAMP WAS ORGANIZED IN COLLABORATION WITH FRANCIS M. NAUMANN FINE ART, NEW YORK. HACKNEY IS A YOUNG BRITISH PAINTER WHO HAS CREATED GEOMETRIC ABSTRACTIONS BASED ON THE MOVEMENTS OF PIECES IN CHESS GAMES. IN THE CASE OF THis EXHIBITION, THE GAMES WERE PLAYED BY THE CELEBRATED FRENCH ARTIST AND CHESS PLAYER, MARCEL DUCHAMP. IN A SPEECH AT THE NEW YORK STATE CHESS ASSOCIATION IN 1952, DUCHAMP REMARKED THAT PLAYING A GAME OF CHESS WAS LIKE MAKING A DRAWING. "THE CHESS PIECES ARE THE BLOCK ALPHABET WHICH SHAPES THOUGHTS; AND THESE THOUGHTS, ALTHOUGH MAKING A VISUAL DESIGN ON THE CHESSBOARD, EXPRESS THEIR BEAUTY ABSTRACTLY, LIKE A POEM." IN HACKNEY'S PICTURES, THE BEAUTY OF THOSE GAMES IS CAPTURED AND MADE VISIBLE IN A SINGLE STATIC IMAGE. IT WAS DUCHAMP'S GOAL TO ELEVATE ART FROM A PURELY VISUAL EXPERIENCE TO SOMETHING MORE CEREBRAL, AN ASPIRATION THAT HACKNEY UNQUESTIONABLY ACCOMPLISHES IN THESE PAINTINGS WHOSE BEAUTY IS GENERATED ENTIRELY BY IDEAS THAT TOOK PLACE ON THE 64 SQUARES OF A CHESSBOARD.OPEN FILES: CELEBRATING 5 YEARS OF COLLECTING - SEPTEMBER 29, 2016 TO APRIL 15, 2017OPEN FILES: CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS OF COLLECTING HIGHLIGHTED JUST A SMALL PORTION OF THE NUMEROUS ARTIFACTS THE INSTITUTION HAS OBTAINED DURING ITS FIRST FIVE YEARS IN SAINT LOUIS. ONE OF THE FIRST EXHIBITIONS PRESENTED AT THE WCHOF WAS A SURVEY OF HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION AND LOANS FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS.

ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL: NATURAL SPLENDORS FROM THE CHESS COLLECTION OF DR. GEORGE & VIVIAN DEAN - SEPTEMBER 29, 2016 TO MARCH 12, 2017THIS EXHIBITION OF WORKS FROM THE DEAN COLLECTION MARKS THE WCHOF'S FIFTH ANNIVERSARY AS WELL AS DR. GEORGE AND VIVIAN DEAN'S 55TH YEAR OF COLLECTING FINE CHESS SETS. LOVERS OF HISTORY AND ART, THE DEANS HAVE TRAVELED TO OVER 100 COUNTRIES TO FIND OVER 1,000 OF THE FINEST CHESS SETS FROM THE 8TH CENTURY CE TO THE PRESENT, AND HAVE ASSEMBLED THEM INTO ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST DISTINGUISHED PRIVATE COLLECTIONS. HOWEVER, THE DEANS ARE ALSO PASSIONATE ABOUT SCIENCE. DR. DEAN IS A PHYSICIAN AS WAS CARL LINNAEUS, WHO IN HIS 1735 BOOK SYSTEMA NATURAE PROPOSED THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM OF CLASSIFYING THE ENTIRE NATURAL WORLD INTO ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, AND MINERAL KINGDOMS. THE SELECTION OF THESE CHESS SETS was BASED ON THE CATEGORIES OF LINNAEUS' SYSTEMA NATURAE. THEIR PRESENTATION was INSPIRED BY ANOTHER INFLUENTIAL AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT TEXT, DENIS DIDEROT'S ENCYCLOPEDIA, OR A SYSTEMATIC DICTIONARY OF THE SCIENCES, ARTS, AND CRAFTS, (1751-1772). BY EXHIBITING CHESS SETS (ARTS) IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NATURAL MATERIALS (SCIENCES) FROM WHICH THEY WERE MADE ALONG WITH EXAMPLES OF THE TYPES OF TOOLS AND PROCESSES USED TO MAKE THEM (CRAFTS) IT BECame EVIDENT THAT CHESS SETS AND CHESS CULTURE ARE NOT APART FROM LIFE, BUT A PART OF LIFE AND THE NATURAL WORLD THAT SURROUNDS US.
