DESCRIPTION

Explore the innovative world of Alex Da Corte with the Alex Da Corte: Chicken book, a compelling documentation of his groundbreaking performance piece.

Originally staged in early March 2020, this book captures Da Corte’s reinterpretation of Allan Kaprow’s iconic 1962 happening, Chicken, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Set against the historic backdrop of the Gershman Y in Philadelphia, Da Corte’s performance reimagined Kaprow’s chaotic spectacle by replacing live chickens with vibrant yellow orbs symbolizing the moon.

This book features detailed sketches, reproductions of objects and costumes, and striking performance images that bring Da Corte’s artistic vision to life.

Accompanied by insightful essays and personal reflections, Alex Da Corte: Chicken provides an in-depth look at the event’s cultural impact and artistic significance.

Ideal for art enthusiasts and collectors, this publication serves as both a visual chronicle and a thoughtful analysis of a pivotal moment in contemporary performance art.
