Humlebæk, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art: »Alex Da Corte - Mr. Remember«
A journey into a parallel reality
American pop culture meets satire: in paintings, sculptures and videos, the artist Alex Da Corte repeatedly deals with the cultural and media world of his homeland. From 14 July, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, Denmark, is showing »Alex Da Corte - Mr. Remember«, the artist's largest exhibition in Europe to date.
July 13, 2022
About 35 km north of Copenhagen lies the town of Humlebæk, home to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, probably Denmark's most important museum for contemporary art. From 14 July 2022 to 8 January 2023, the exhibition Alex Da Corte - Mr. Remember can be seen there. It is the largest presentation of Da Corte in Europe to date. Among the exhibits, which deal satirically with American pop culture in the form of paintings, sculptures and videos, are early as well as current works.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is the work Rubber Pencil Devil, a new acquisition by the museum. The two-and-a-half-hour film, which consists of 57 short films, alienates well-known figures of the American media world such as the Seven Dwarfs or Bart Simpson. Alex Da Corte (*1980) plays most of the characters himself and designs elaborate sets. These also influence the design of the screening room, so that visitors have the feeling of disappearing completely into another world.
