Description
In honor of Duchamp's affinity for chess, The Dali is hosting a chess night, during which three chess champions will each play up to 20 people at one time. For an entry fee of $5, you can play against the best.
Event Details
In conjunction with our Dali/Duchamp special exhibition, we invite you to Games at The Dali. On select Thursdays during the exhibit (February 10 – May 27), we celebrate the game playing (and gamesmanship) of Dali and Duchamp, artistic giants and friends who shared a mutual influence, despite many superficial and aesthetic differences. From strategic chess moves to diversions of alter ego creation, these two iconoclasts engaged the world in ways both playful and thoughtful, irreverent and important.
