About the Book

For his largest solo museum exhibition, Alex Da Corte takes over all of MASS MoCA's second-floor galleries, presenting a selection of existing works and an expansive new sculptural installation inspired by Arthur Rimbaud's prose poem "A Season in Hell." Restaging past exhibitions and remixing examples from multiple bodies of work in a fresh narrative, the artist presents his bold output in a sumptuous environment that transforms the museum space. Carpeted and tiled floors, brightly painted walls and neon lighting create a milieu for the art that is part suburban living room, part plush strip club. Full-page illustrations of the visually intoxicating exhibition form the centrepiece of this volume and are complemented by stills from the artist's electrifying videos as well as reproductions of his formally rigorous, brightly coloured mashups of consumer objects and appropriated images. Two essays illuminate Da Corte's engagement with film, animation and appropriation while exploring the personal, cultural and political themes that run through the work. The book provides a glimpse of the prolific artist's breadth while capturing the sensory impact of Da Corte's simultaneously seductive and unsettling worlds. AUTHOR: Susan Cross is Curator of Visual Arts at MASS MoCA. She is the author and editor of numerous publications on artists including Spencer Finch and Sol LeWitt. New York–based writer and curator. Annie Godfrey Larmon is Assistant Editor at Artforum and a co-author of The Very Quick of the Word. 174 illustrations
