Alex Da Corte
Alex Da Corte is an artist whose work focuses on merging modernist color theory and Postminimalist spatial experiments with the crowded, beautiful trash-scape of contemporary culture. Da Corte addresses sexuality, invisible labor, taste, power, and desire.
Soft power. It has always given me strength, fortified me, even if I didn’t realize it was there. Flowers. Balloons. Colors. Corduroy. Carpet. Candles. I remember so much talk about being hard. Hard line. Hard body. Straight edge. Edge lord. How edges bound, edges guarantee, edges own. Then what about mutable edges? My edges are soft. My wants are softer.
