The show

Massimo Kaufmann's “The rules of the game” opens on May 31 at the Museo del Novecento in Milan, an exhibition with a strong interactive and performative character that animates FORUM900.

On display until 31 August are four works, veritable artist's chessboards : three of these, made of wood and with regulatory measurements (57x57cm), consist of the usual 64 houses and 32 chessmen painted with oil colors in 96 different colors, the fourth, Pan, smaller in size, is intended for children.


Despite the clear subversion of the first rule of chess - which here no longer provides only for black and white to oppose each other but for an infinite possibility of colors - the methods and rules of the game remain identical and the boards are perfectly usable: two fairly expert players can confront each other according to all the canonical rules without incurring any other inconvenience other than the perceptive confusion generated by the colors and accentuated by the continuous movement of the pieces.

As proof of this, the four chessboards are made available to visitors who, upon reservation, will be able to compete in exciting chess duels on Tuesday during the lunch break - from 12.30 to 14.30 - and on Thursday before the scheduled talks. Even the artist will be open to challenges: a presence that transforms the exhibition project into a performance .
