Drawing on found objects (and people), kitsch and the banal, Philadelphia-based artist Alex Da Corte makes multimedia work that belies its material origins. This video visits his studio/apartment and his recent gallery show at Fleischer-Ollman to gain some insight into his ideas and technique. We also interview Fleischer-Ollman's director William Pym to get his take on the young artist.

  • So what happens when you approach someone, tell them they fit a certain type, tell them that they are heterosexual, and then they say that they aren't?

    Oh well, no photos?

    Oh well, it doesn't matter?

    I just found that comment to be sooo bizarre...

  • you are angry that i dislike his art?

    you do realise people have diffrent opinions about diffrent things

    and you are very smart

    if i disliked learning i wouldnt be watching a video about art now would i?yes? no?

  • Go Alex!

  • Very exciting work!!!!!!

  • the pics are very banal ,but i guess that that was the point

  • stupid and boring formalism 

  • @maeiraldi I was thinking more Erwin Wurm inspired. Imho, Koons' use of the everyday object is much less inventive. Alex looks like he's having fun and his work has a enthusiastic energy. But than again, that's my impression on this video, you seem to be hanging more onto an anekdote. German conceptual art isn't for everyone.

  • thats possibly the most ignorant thing i've ever heard...

  • hey, I'm José Da Corte, from venezuela, I explore art in some different way (Maybe more conventional) I have some videos, check it out. u have to be some sort of far cousing, the last name is not common.. I'm not an artist, never have shown my work on a gallery... actually I'm a lawyer..

    liked the focus of ur work good luck

  • actually I am kinda stupid and I still think art is stoopit

  • lol
