“Alex Da Corte: The Whale” is the first museum exhibition to survey the Venezuelan American interdisciplinary artist’s long relationship with painting. Organized by the Modern and Curator Alison Hearst, the exhibition 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. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with a special contribution from Da Corte and essays by Hearst, scholar Kemi Adeyemi, art historian Suzanne Hudson, and poet and critic Hanif Abdurraqib.
