Description: A great and unlikely success story Da Corte creates funny and therapeutic works in the hope of easing the exquisite pain of modern life. New York Times This comprehensive monograph celebrates the acclaimed Philadelphia - based installation artist Alex Da Corte (born 1980) famed for his show - stopping 2021 Roof Garden Commission for the Met As Long as the Sun Lasts. Da Corte's Day - Glo works are distinctly rooted in traditional American arts and culture tellingly as a teenager he planned to become an animator for Disney and the artist himself often appears in his films impersonating iconic figures such as Popeye the Statue of Liberty Fred Rogers or Eminem. Throughout the pop flavor of Da Corte's aesthetics is mixed with a satirical existentialism: his works often combine sadness and effortless play connecting our sense of self with consumer culture from the films we watch to the objects we buy give and throw away. Published for a major retrospective at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark and documenting all of his major works to date Alex Da Corte: Mr. Remember matches the artist's high - production ultra - chromatic sensibility in its gorgeous production with a three - color cloth binding silver foil on the cover a paperback volume sewn into the book and an abundance of riotous color throughout with more than 100 pages of installation views from previous exhibitions.
