Atto Primo: Scena Prima
Notte.
Un albero.
Stai annegando in una stanza di piscio brillante.
Pensi che le tue scarpe siano troppo strette.
Un uomo, che ti ricorda tuo fratello, ti trascina giù. Tu ti domandi se non sei stato tu a trascinarlo giù per primo.
Ti chiede una luce.
Atto Secondo: Scena Prima
Notte.
Una staccionata.
Vedi una luce.
Guardi da dietro i cespugli i tuoi genitori che preparano la cena
Le tue sorelle intrecciano i capelli una all’altra e danno vita ai loro reciproci problemi.
Avresti bisogno di fumare o di fare una pisciata.
Sei ubriaco fradicio.
La galleria Gió Marconi ha il piacere di annunciare Devil Town, esordio in Italia dell’artista americano Alex Da Corte.
La sua prima personale in un prestigioso museo verrà inaugurata nel marzo 2016 al Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA).
Alex Da Corte ( n. 1980) vive e lavora a Philadelphia. Ha ottenuto il BFA alla University of the Arts di Philadelphia e il MFA alla Yale University, New Haven, nel 2010.

Act One : Scene One
Night.
A tree.
You are drowning in a room of glowing piss.
You think your shoes are too tight.
A man, who reminds you of your brother, let you down. You wonder if you let him down first.
He asks for a light.
Act Two : Scene One
Night.
A fence.
You see a light.
You watch your parents make dinner from behind the bushes.
Your sisters braid each others' hair and give birth to each others' problems.
You could use a smoke or a piss.
You are drunk as hell.
