Chess as Art?
Marcel Duchamp, one of the founding members of The Socit Anonyme once asked, "And why isn't my playing chess an art activity?"

Good question. During the run of The Socit Anonyme: Modernism for America (http://e2ma.net/go/792043956/683854/24290974/goto:http://fristcenter.org/site/calendar/eventdetail.aspx?cid=422) exhibition, come play chess (make art la Marcel Duchamp) in the Grand Lobby. There are two chess sets available during regular Frist Center hours.
