2025-02-28 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St., Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
The Exhibition Lecture Series is a dynamic new program featuring curators and artists from the Modern’s special exhibitions and permanent collection. This series provides a rare opportunity to explore the creative processes, curatorial strategies, and artistic visions that shape modern and contemporary art. The Exhibition Lecture Series is a free program open to the public.
Seating begins at 5:30 pm. Free admission tickets (limit two per person) are available at the Modern’s information desk beginning at 4 pm on the day of the lecture. A limited number of tickets (limit two per person) will be available for purchase online ($5) from 10 am until 4 pm the day before the lecture.

Join us for an engaging evening with acclaimed artist Alex Da Corte as part of the Exhibition Lecture Series. On Friday, February 28 at 6 pm, Da Corte will present “Cut/Uncut” and engage in conversation with Alison Hearst, the exhibition’s organizing curator.
Alex Da Corte: The Whale marks the first comprehensive museum exhibition to explore Da Corte’s dynamic relationship with painting. Spanning the past decade, the exhibition features over forty paintings, drawings, and a video work that examines painting as a performative act.
Known internationally for his interdisciplinary installations that merge painting, video, performance, and sculpture, Da Corte draws from art history, design, and pop culture. His works blend fantasy with darker undertones, while traversing high and low cultural themes. In The Whale, Da Corte views painting as a space that captures cultural “ghosts”—referencing the Jungian concept of a journey into the subconscious, likened to the mythical “belly of the whale.”
The exhibition includes Da Corte’s signature reverse-glass paintings, evoking the invisible labor of traditional animation and sign-making; Puffy Paintings, crafted from stuffed neoprene; Shampoo Paintings, created with everyday hair products; and Slatwall Paintings, which incorporate found objects. By taking up such unconventional techniques, the artist challenges the dominance of painting on canvas, expanding the boundaries of the medium and revealing new opportunities for expression.
Organized by the Modern, the exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with contributions from Da Corte and essays by Hearst, scholar Kemi Adeyemi, art historian Suzanne Hudson, and poet Hanif Abdurraqib.

Her work has been widely exhibited and collected in over 150 major museums and cultural institutions, including solo exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art in New York; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC; and Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, where in 2020 she was the first Korean American woman artist featured in a solo exhibition. Shin has received numerous awards, including the Frederic Church Award for her contributions to American art and culture. Her works have been highlighted in The New York Times and Sculpture Magazine, among others.
Her body of work includes several permanent public artworks commissioned by major agencies and municipalities, including a landmark commission for the MTA’s Second Ave Subway in NYC. She is a tenured Adjunct Professor at Pratt Institute and holds an honorary doctorate from New York Academy of Art. Her piece for the 2023 Armory Show Huddled Masses, organized by the curator Eva Respini and presented by Boston’s Praise Shadows Art Gallery, was called a “standout” by The New York Times.
