LIVING AND SUSTAINING A CREATIVE LIFE

Alex Da Corte
29 year old, Philadelphia-based Yale MFA student Alex Da Corte's work spans and breaks down categories of painting, sculpture, installation and video. Many of his pieces from the past few years stem from an interest in the aesthetics of the consumer experience. He finds inspiration in supermarket displays, advertisements, the internet etc. Conceptually, his work also examines the varying ways we relate to these objects.
"Objects have a cultural history that speaks to race or class, gender and politics, and that’s something that’s overlooked quite a bit. Images are what they are, and they last in our mind for several seconds, and we don’t consider history. So much of my work is about historicizing things and understanding them in terms of time and space, understanding that they do exist in the physical world, although we might not look up from our phones."

ANTIVJ: A VISUAL LABEL
Much of the work does a phenomenal job of bridging a physical and digital space. The paring of projections and objects//spaces//sounds is far from arbitrary, and succeeds at creating a cohesive audio/visual environment. They have performed in galleries, venues, and on entire building facades.
The influence this groups work has had on projection artists all over the globe is undeniable. They have set a high standard for what audiences can expect from seeing light thrown into darkness.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY
Here is an article from the June-August 2013 issue of Frieze called Future Fictions, which came up in class today. Give it a read if it is relevant to your work.
You have two things to do this weekend:
1) Read the mission statements included in the first reading. Think about how these artists used writing to describe who they are and what they do. Draft your own mission statements for this class. They do not have to follow any of the formats in the reading, although they might be inspirational in some way. Draft an introduction about yourself that tells us who you are, what you do, and what you hope to get out of your project. Post it on the blog.
2) Secondarily, draft your project plan so that we can discuss on Monday. Come into class with things to work on during class time. Don't forget our first visitor is two weeks from today, 2/19---what are you going to show him, and how will you build on that deadline to move to the next step in your project?
Take inspiration from the dancing pencil.
See you soon.
