KIM DACRES – BLACK MOVES FIRST
2021-12-06In the traditional game of chess, Black moves second, not first. Marked by a strategic disadvantage from the onset, Black involuntarily falls into responsive and defensive play. This extended metaphor becomes inverted with Dacres’ exhibition, Black Moves First, which unveils a powerful composition of eight new sculptures that proffer a novel twist on the timeless game of chess, which, in this version, is devoid of kings, pawns, or male signifiers. Instead, the eight women of the Crown family move first with white, the viewer, to respond.
