Greenpoint Chess and Go Club

Glenn Kaino's installation "Learn to win or you will take losing for granted," is an eye catching 7 3/4' x 7 3/4' chess board made of wood and wood crates. Playing with the classic theme of good vs. evil, the pieces are cast bronze depicting different hand gestures with both negative or positive connotations, depending on which "team" you are on.

From the Orange County Museum of Art's Disorderly Conduct: Recent Art in Tumuluous Times exhibition, which also features a number of B&W paintings of intense expressions on chess players' faces.
