Using prosthetics and costumes, Alex Da Corte<\/a> has morphed into characters as varied as Marcel Duchamp and Mister Rogers.\u00a0 In his latest solo show at Matthew Marks Gallery<\/a> in Chelsea, he embodies the artist Paul Thek in his iconic 1967 tomb and recreates artworks on the theme of hidden spaces by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Fluxus artist Robert Watts, and others.\u00a0 Here, Da Corte places a cast of his own body in a Pink Panther suit. Nearby, a furry head resting on the floor completes the costume, but Da Corte\u2019s double rejects it in favor of pink face paint, as if more fully trying to embody Pink Panther\u2019s elusive character.\u00a0 Posing in a way that recalls Duane Hanson\u2019s \u2018Housepainter\u2019 sculpture, the piece introduces a range of ideas, from the personal (Da Corte\u2019s brother is a professional house painter) to the art historical and beyond. (On view in Chelsea through Dec 20th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n
