Alex Da Corte, Bacon Brest (installation view) |
Extended until June 15th is
Bacon Brest, Alex Da Corte's splendid solo exhibition at Artspeak gallery. Da Corte's sharply unusual form of cultural anthropology -- the items used in his sculptures and installations are found or bought -- is seductive in its visual brevity.
"Toying with ideas of taste, Da Corte proposes that failure is in fact
an essential component of risk and rule breaking; and the celebration
and acknowledgment of flaws in a milieu that scorns and dismisses
imperfection can resuscitate a vernacular from moments previous. His
sculptures maintain traces of their past lives, reviving lost narratives
while exposing the capacity of mass-produced objects to be surrogates
for power, sex and happiness."
Be sure to catch it before it all comes down. Artspeak is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 12 to 5pm.
