TRIPTYCH – THE GAME OF OPENING DOORS TO THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS
Description and Instructions:
There are 248 different fluids in each and all of the 248 bubbles in this Triptych. 247 of them are filled with gasses that when released, it will bring joy, prosperity, health richness, wealth, love, pleasure, luxury, comfort, no guilty lust and hundred of other extremely good sensations and feelings to the whole wide world, but there is one, just one bubble that contains an extremely toxic fume that will destroy all living things on Planet Earth, bringing all kind of illness, torments, horrors and everything bad and wicked that you cannot even imagine.
The only object able to burst all these bubbles is the silver needle tied to a golden thread that is provided with the game.

(The following text is included on the surface of the wrapped parcel along with several addresses of friends) :
Please Mr Postman,
This parcel contains a precious object Yoko Ono sent me sometime ago that I would like to share with some of the people I love, but I'm unable to decide with whom. Could you please help me by picking one of these addresses at random and deliver to it?
Thank you.

I want to pass this Sky Brush Shaver from Amador Sola (1920 somewhere in the South of Spain – 2005 Olesa de Montserrat, Spain) to Geoff Hendricks (1931 Littletown, New Hampshire USA- Present)
Amador Sola used this shaver brush every day during the three years he was interned in a Franco’s labour camp after Spanish civil war (1936-1939). He wanted to be nice and clean because he always had in mind that “that“ day could be the one of his liberation. That shaver brush was a means for freedom. Years ago Geoff Hendricks he also did an act of liberation by shaving all the hair on his body. This Sky Shaver Brush its a symbol of their connection to me.

This is a Piece inspired by Yoko Ono’s "White Chess-Set"
The basis is the same, but where Yoko says "Play It by Trust", I add "Yes, Play It by Trust and Joy". We should have always in mind that respect is the best way to end with our fears and enjoy the others. Although the differences, we are not as different as we are told. We all are in the same game, despite our anger or hate. We all have the choice of transforming life in a game of love and togetherness, or in a game of death and rejection.
When I was a child, about 10, I used to hate playing chess, because one of my brothers, who was 5 years older than me, used it to humiliate me. He always won, of course, and he had that feeling of being stronger and cleverer than me, and he would show off treating me like an inferior and insulting me. That, raised a lot of resentment in me towards him, but when I was alone, I used to find something fascinating in that black and white cardboard and all those different pieces, so I enjoyed very much playing chess alone, with my own rules. The cardboard could become a hug golden room, a palace, a desert, a country, a planet, or a universe and there were lots of love and war stories over there, but there were always happy endings with balls and parties where the pieces got to know to each other, dancing and talking.
So with all this in mind, I made this Colored Chess-Set, as a way of add a layer to Yoko's piece. Maybe if I have had this kind of chess set when I was 10, my older brother and I wouldn’t have stopped talking to each other when grown ups.

2010 - 20x20 inches - Altered Game Board - image transfers on discarded game board.
http://jazzpaperscissors.blogspot.com
A little background: I can't stand the man, Trump. I can't stand that he thinks for so much as a moment that he has or will ever have a place in the history of American architecture.
I found a discarded gameboard for Trump: The Game right where it belonged: in the recycling area of my apartment building. I'd been thinking about making something to submit to the next Fluxus Fluxhibition in Ft. Worth, focused on toys and games. When I saw this I thought about the full-page ad I'd just seen in the NYTimes promoting the new Palladio show at the Morgan Library. Mercifully, the gameboard didn't sport D. Trumps' porcine visage anywhere , so I made a transfer of Palladio's engraved portrait and placed him at center. I then circled him with portraits culled from old museum catalogs. I thought of them (loosely) as his patrons, muses, cronies, disciples, builders.
I left two "For Sale" signs untouched. Those are Trump's.

Description: Game involving 3 sets of cards: uniform rectangles (gree design), odd-shaped triangles (black design), odd-shaped hexagons (blue design), hand written text or drawing on flip sides of each card in brown ink. The idea for this game came to me because I happen to be a very sore loser.
