Author: Da Corte, Alex
Designed as a “mutant facsimile” of the 1979 catalogue for Claes Oldenburg’s Mouse Museum/Ray Gun Wing, this title is a codex for the eponymous installation by Alex Da Corte. Oldenburg’s original installation is a Mickey Mouse–shaped room filled with ephemera the artist collected over the years. Da Corte, a fervent admirer of Oldenburg’s, updates his original concept for the 21st century, using his own collection of accumulated objects including glass fruit, Happy Meal toys and fake flowers.The room itself is shaped like one of Mickey Mouse’s ears: in this case, the left ear, referencing Van Gogh. Documentation, inspirations and reflections presented in the artist’s voice form an unprecedented picture of both an artwork and a holistic contemporary practice. Each object in 'Mouse Museum (Van Gogh Ear)' is photographed for a total of over 300 colour images.
ISBN 9788793659773. Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. pb. 144 pages. 335 colour, 5 b/w ills. 29.8 x 48.9 cm.
