(Through January 2017)
Da Corte is an incredible young Yale-educated, Philadelphia-based artist. He uses everyday objects to create small still lifes and narratives—and has been both compared to and influenced by notable predecessors such as Mike Kelley, Haim Steinbach and Jeff Koons. His installation at MASS MoCA feels incredibly important and impressive. You can tell why Da Corte is an institutional favorite—he always overdelivers.
