ALEX DA CORTE
BAD LAND
Josh Lilley Gallery, London
Through December 23, 2017
With an architectural refit of the four gallery spaces and three new films alongside sculptures and wall works in neon, smoke, haberdashery, commercial slat walls, vinyl siding and blown glass, BAD LAND is a narrative about the sliding scale of sovereignty, self-sufficiency and despair.
It is both nakedly autobiographical and a portrait of tentative, aspirational coexistence.
Following CAR WHORE (Wake, Detroit) and 1 O O O I S L A N D (Joe Sheftel Gallery, New York), BAD LAND is the third exhibition of a trilogy, initiated in 2013, in which Da Corte appears as the rapper Eminem.
