The Power of Chess: 'Games' featured in Eye Magazine, January 7, 2013

"Chess - the gymnasium of the mind - is a perennial source of inspiration for designers, film-makers and artists', says Jim Sutherland in his article for Eye Magazine Blog. Citing several historical and contemporary chess related projects Sutherland draws upon the popularity of chess as a 'rich visual language to plunder".

The Gallery's own presentation 'Games' is highlighted in the article. ‘Games’ was inspired by a 1944 exhibition at New York’s Julien Levy Gallery for which Levy, Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp invited artists to contribute chess sets, art works and furniture. Sutherland features Studio Frith's 'Chess Cloth' in the article.
