"The Philadelphia-based interdisciplinary artist Alex Da Corte (b.
1980, Camden, NJ) is known for his pop-informed sensibility and embrace
of theatricality. In his elaborate, surreal set pieces, banal objects
and consumer goods serve as both actors and props. Da Corte’s videos,
sculptures, paintings, and installations ruminate on personal and
cultural politics, alienation, and the complexities of the human
experience. An active scavenger of high and low culture, his material
explorations have included using dollar-store soda and shampoo as paint;
“curating” the works of other artists into hybrid objects; and creating
immersive environments that consider and modify the entirety of a
space, from lighting fixtures to flooring. For his first solo exhibition
in Los Angeles, Da Corte will present a survey of recent videos within a
site-specific installation at Art + Practice."
