Alex Da Corte: Mouse Museum

Explore the whimsical world of Alex Da Corte with Alex Da Corte: Mouse Museum, a unique and captivating book inspired by Claes Oldenburg’s iconic installation.

Designed as a “mutant facsimile” of the 1979 catalog for Oldenburg’s Mouse Museum/Ray Gun Wing, this book serves as a codex for Da Corte's own imaginative reinterpretation.

Da Corte updates Oldenburg’s concept for the 21st century, transforming a Mickey Mouse-shaped room filled with eclectic objects into a contemporary art installation.

This book features over 300 color images of items like glass fruit, McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, and fake flowers, all meticulously arranged in a room shaped like Mickey Mouse’s left ear—a nod to Van Gogh.

Featuring detailed documentation, personal reflections, and artistic inspirations, Alex Da Corte: Mouse Museum offers an unprecedented insight into Da Corte’s holistic contemporary practice.

Perfect for art enthusiasts and collectors, this book provides a vivid snapshot of an artwork that bridges the past and present in a playful, thought-provoking manner.
