Glenn Lowry: Clark called these works "Bichos," or "critters."

Connie Butler: : The implication being that these are small beasts or animals or in some way animated and living forms. If you look closely, you'll notice that the Bichos are actually made from hinged metal pieces - some geometric, some circular, and some actually sculpted as if by hand. The Bichos are hinged in order to get movement within the sculptures.

Luis Perez-Oramas: The Bichos are fundamentally unstable structures. They question the physical certainty of the user, as they are at all moments at the brink of collapsing. They don't have an ideal shape. They don't have front and back. They are fully manipulable. And they unfold as potential multiplicities, structurally as well as organically.

Glenn Lowry: Composed of different planes, these sculptures are like moving versions of Clark's paintings. At several points in the exhibition, you'll find replicas that you can touch.

Connie Butler: : Clark intended for a viewer to manipulate the sculpture in the space in and among paintings and other works. And it's here that we see this idea of a kind of collaboration with the audience introduced very directly into her work for the first time.

Artist Note

In the Fluxus Newsletter of March 1965, George Maciunas called for a second year box that would contain "book events" only, described as that which "are enacted by the reader automatically as he inspects the book or box... It may include flip books, solo games, or puzzles made of paper or other materials" (qtd in Hendricks, Fluxus Codex, 123).

Yoko Ono: Play it by Trust, installation view, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, September 9, 2011-October 9, 2011.

Yoko Ono: Play it by Trust, installation view, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, September 9, 2011-October 9, 2011.

Yoko Ono's Play it by Trust (1966/2011) is an all-white, interactive chessboard that functions as a metaphor for the futility of war and extends the artist's interest in the expressive potential of chance. By eliminating the color-based opposition of one side versus another, Ono dooms any attempt to successfully "play" the game beyond a series of initial moves to ultimate failure. She thus encourages us to consider the aspects of humanity that unite rather than divide. Play it by Trust joins the many conceptual, musical, and performative works that Ono has created for over 40 years that evoke her dedication to the promotion of peace in our society. It was first exhibited in 1966 at the Indica Gallery in London and since then it has been re-presented in various sizes and for numerous different occasions. This presentation of Play it by Trust has been developed in cooperation with the opening of the World Chess Hall of Fame in St. Louis this fall.

Yoko Ono was born in 1933 in Tokyo, Japan and lives and works in New York City. An iconic international avant-garde figure, she is also recognized for her crucial early role in the art movement Fluxus (1962-1978). She has recently presented solo exhibitions at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, England (2008-2009), The Ke Center for the Contemporary Arts, Shanghai, China (2008), and the Japan Society in New York (2000). She has recently participated in group exhibitions such as " The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860-1989," at the Guggenheim Museum, New York (2009), and " WACK!: Art and the Feminist Revolution " at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2007.) Recent albums include Between my Head and the Sky (2009), Yes, I'm a Witch (2007), and Open Your Box (2002).

Perhaps the most influential artist of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso may be best known for pioneering Cubism and fracturing the two-dimensional picture plane in order to convey three-dimensional space. Inspired by African and Iberian art, he also contributed to the rise of Surrealism and Expressionism. Picasso's sizable oeuvre grew to include over 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures,ceramics, theater sets, and costume designs. He painted his most famous work, Guernica (1937), in response to the Spanish Civil War; the totemic grisaille canvas remains a definitive work of anti-war art. At auction, a number of Picasso's paintings have sold for more than $100 million. The indefatigable artist has been the subject of exhibitions at the world's most prestigious institutions, from the Museum of Modern Art and Centre Pompidou to the Stedelijk Museum and Tate Modern.
