brief_description
The first comprehensive survey of Alex Da Corte's dynamic visually intoxicating work, Free Roses documents the prolific artist's practice over the last ten years, conveying in both vivid color reproductions and descriptive texts the power and imagination of his immersive, theatrical, neon-bathed installations and provocative objects and videos. Seamlessly blending consumer products, pop culture references, personal narrative, art historical allusions — and original work by other artists — Da Corte's mash-ups engage timeless themes of love, sex, death and desire while upending traditional notions of value, beauty and authorship. Essays by curator Susan Cross and writers Annie Godfrey Larmon and William Pym provide insight into the artist's simultaneously seductive and unsettling worlds. --Publisher website
