Marcel Dzama: The End Game
March 9, 2012 - August 12, 2012
Marcel Dzama: The End Game features the artist’s film, A Game of Chess, alongside related drawings, paintings, sculptures, and dioramas. Dzama’s
work draws from a diverse range of references and artistic influences,
including Dada and Marcel Duchamp. His film features characters based on
the classic game of chess. Dressed in geometrically designed costumes of
papier-mâché, plaster, and fiberglass and wearing elaborate masks
(including a quadruple-faced mask for the King), the figures dance across a
checkered board to challenge their opponents in fatal interchanges.
