On view in Room 6 are recent works by Alex Da Corte, including Rubber Pencil Devil (Hell House), 2022, a neon sculpture commissioned by Glenstone to house the artist’s video work from 2018 that explores themes of humor, satire, violence, and tenderness. Da Corte renders the familiar uncanny by positioning popular characters and symbols in surprising new situations. Con frecuencia el artista encarna a estos personajes él mismo a través de una prótesis y trajes para honrar, apropiarse y transformar los símbolos de la cultura estadounidense.
