Tom Hackney, 2012
Chess Painting No. 27
(Gudmundsson vs. Duchamp. Hamburg 1930)
Gesso on linen, oak frame
42 x 42 cm


Tom Hackney’s Chess Paintings undermine logical structure by pushing it to its illogical extreme. Here the artist uses records of Duchamp’s chess games to produce paintings in which each move is mapped out by filling a square on a grid, resulting in a palimpsest of delicately nuanced greys. The moves themselves, however, are now irretrievable. Inscription, the work suggests, always bears within itself the risk of forgetfulness. The success of one game is the loss of another.
