In the ultimate homage to Claes Oldenburg, Alex Da Corte recreates his Mouse Museum project with his own unique twist

Designed as a âmutant facsimileâ of the 1979 Rijksmuseum/Museum Ludwig catalog for Claes Oldenburgâs Mouse Museum/Ray Gun Wing, Mouse Museum is a codex for the eponymous installation by Alex Da Corte (born 1980). Oldenburgâs original installation, created between 1965 and the late 1970s, is a Mickey Mouseâ"shaped room filled with ephemera the artist collected over the years. Da Corte, a fervent admirer of Oldenburgâs, updates his original concept for the 21st century, using his own collection of accumulated objects including glass fruit, McDonaldâs Happy Meal toys and fake flowers. The room itself is shaped like one of Mickey Mouseâs ears: in this case, the left ear, referencing Van Gogh. Documentation, inspirations and reflections presented in the artistâs 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 color images.
