A generously illustrated book on the dynamic<br>work of neo-pop artist Alex Da Corte, whose<br>immersive installations and provocative objects<br>seamlessly blend high and low culture as they<br>explore themes of love, sex, family, death, and<br>desire. For his largest solo museum exhibition, Alex Da Corte takes<br>over all of MASS MoCA's second-floor galleries, presenting a<br>selection of existing works and an expansive new sculptural<br>installation inspired by Arthur Rimbaud's prose poem &quot;A<br>Season in Hell.&quot; Restaging past exhibitions and remixing<br>examples from multiple bodies of work in a fresh narrative, the<br>artist presents his bold output in a sumptuous environment<br>that transforms the museum space. Carpeted and tiled floors,<br>brightly painted walls, and neon lighting create a milieu for the<br>art that is part suburban living room, part plush strip club. Fullpage<br>illustrations of the visually intoxicating exhibition form<br>the centerpiece of this volume and are complemented by stills<br>from the artist's electrifying videos as well as reproductions of<br>his formally rigorous, brightly colored mashups of consumer<br>objects and appropriated images. Two essays illuminate Da<br>Corte's engagement with film, animation, and appropriation<br>while exploring the personal, cultural, and political themes<br>that run through the work. The book provides a glimpse of the<br>prolific artist's breadth while capturing the sensory impact of<br>Da Corte's simultaneously seductive and unsettling worlds.
