Alex Da Corte: Cut/Uncut
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.

March 2, 2025 – September 7, 2025

Alex Da Corte: The Whale, the first museum exhibition to survey the interdisciplinary artist’s long relationship with painting, focuses on the past decade of Da Corte’s career, and includes more than forty paintings, several drawings, and a video that considers painting as a performative act.
Da Corte is globally recognized for his hybrid installations combining painting, performance, video, and sculpture. Immersed in the history of art, design, and pop culture, Da Corte’s combinations evoke mixed feelings, such as fantasy and malice, while crossing hierarchies of high and low culture. His works combine modernist color theory and the spatial experiments of post-minimalist sculpture to consider topics including consumerism, persona, sex, invisible labor, taste, power, and desire.
The exhibition’s title, The Whale, emblematizes the artist’s vast mining of contemporary culture, a process that Da Corte describes as “analogous to the Jungian night sea journey, looking backward and collecting the past as an act of commingling with spirits, either cultural or personal.” Da Corte sees the medium of painting as “a cavity for these ghosts”—much like museums themselves. Painting, forever brimming with the weight of its own history and historically itself an uncanny threshold of consumption, represents “the mouth of the whale” to Da Corte. The artist situates himself here, within a crowded, beautiful trash-scape of contemporary culture, digesting advertisements, animation cels, compact disc graphic design, art history, and more. The ephemeral pop culture source materials referenced in Da Corte’s paintings make evident how the things we identify with, or use to define us, evolve over time.
To realize this reconstructed vision of painting, Da Corte stretches the medium’s traditional boundaries. The exhibition incorporates Puffy Paintings in stuffed, upholstered neoprene, Shampoo Paintings comprised of drugstore hair products, and sculptural Slatboard Paintings, where found objects protrude from the slatted grooves found in everyday commercial displays. The remaining paintings in the exhibition are reverse-glass paintings, in which the artist employs a process often used in animated celluloids and sign-making. Da Corte creates the image in reverse-order, applying the front-most layer of paint to the back side of the glass and building up subsequent layers, with the background added last. In addition, the exhibition encompasses the artist’s source materials and ephemera, providing a fresh perspective on his process. Galleries adjacent to the exhibition will present a selection of works from the Modern’s collection, extending the exhibition’s deep exploration of Da Corte’s catalysts and influences.
Organized by the Modern and Curator Alison Hearst, the exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue with a special contribution from Da Corte and essays by Hearst, poet and critic Hanif Abdurraqib, art historian Suzanne Hudson, and Kemi Adeyemi, associate professor of gender, women, and sexuality studies at the University of Washington.

Alex Da Corte: The Whale is made possible in part with support from Matthew Marks Gallery.
