Ben wins, perhaps because he is naked (reference to the photograph by Man Ray of Marcel Duchamp), which greatly distracts his opponent. \u201cI\u2019ve already forgotten the first chess game done with Ben! I intentionally said \u2018done with\u2019 and not \u2018played against,\u2019 because the outcome didn\u2019t make a bit of difference to the pleasure of the game. Do-Done-Dreamed. The dream is to set up an imaginative world to preside over the set of rules in a game. It\u2019s playing with the rules. It\u2019s also being in the Sanskrit root of the word Art; anyway, Duchamp reminds us of this by maintaining that the word \u003Cem\u003Eart\u003C\/em\u003E comes from Sanskrit for \u2018to do.\u2019 God is dead, but the unbearable void of the soul remains in the center of the game of chess. For us, taking our place at the chessboard means transposing the truth within Art and having fun with it. Ben opened his voice and through it the spirit of sensitivity to the little things produced by the group Fluxus and also Takako\u2026 It\u2019s the \u2018Fluxusation\u2019 of the game of chess that keeps bringing us together, Ben and me around the black and white squares. Ben set the tone: of course, there is no oil or ointment to mark the line, because faced with Duchamp the chess player, appropriately, we took to the road\u2014forgive me for saying it\u2014like champs. And so, the black and white square of Mal\u00e9vitch melted with the urinal of Duchamp, our irony of a school dropout.\u201d\u003C\/article\u003E\u003Caddress rel=\u0022author\u0022\u003EJean Mas\u003C\/address\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n        \u003C\/section\u003E\n      \n      \u003Cfigure style=\u0022width:500px;height:361px;\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg class=\u0022image grid_small\u0022 path=\u0022\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/grid_small\/public\/images-performance\/MASJ1994_ECHE_MASJ_PHOT_01.jpg\u0022 src=\u0022http:\/\/dev.performance-art.fr\/\u0022 width=\u0022100\u0022 height=\u002272\u0022 alt=\u0022Le damier est en \u0153ufs de lump.
