Artist Alex Da Corte's Mouse Museum | Louisiana Channel

[@LDVTennis]

I want that miniature version of "As Long as the Sun Lasts." ... Life as a collection of readymades. Duchamp would have been impressed. Brilliant.

IC-U a cosmic comedy indeed brought to human scale

Wow this just leveled up the meaning of my own tiny existence

[@computer_in_a_cave2730]

but what if you actually had a museum for mice ? and other small rodents - seemingly museums can be maze-like in their layout and labyrinthine in their thematic and contextual obscurity - do mice that surreptitiously live at the National Portrait Gallery in London have a better more enriched life than those of mice that might live in a Chinese warehouse or shipping yard ?

You sound like that Verner Hedgehog guy that's always trying to kill baby Yoda

Ughh. More tchotchke-assemblage sculpture. So few sculptors showing in major galleries today that actually conceive three dimensional form using their hands and body. And if today's sculptor is not out collecting/shopping for kitschy, quirky objects to recombine "artfully", then they're live-casting. Anything to avoid creation by means of one's own imagination and hands.

I'm going to have to borrow that and add a suffix ~ tchotchke-esque - assemblage. The deep irony here is that the micron level precision craftsmanship and knowhow in creating the 3d breakaway molds are cores in D2 tool steel truly ARE incredible pieces of art and engineering in their own righ, but the collective fate of "plastics" and polymeric materials and their disposal IS sketchy.

I get it, but also Duchamp championed the object as-is. It’s a rearranging of perspective. A concrete collage of things from a life lived. Doesn’t have to be your thing, for sure, but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t thought-out and meaningful to the artist.

[@lurelurche]

@@KeyDyerthe point is not the meaning in this thread, but you said it “to the artist” what about re interpretation by the audience? I think when I see this kind of thing that I need the whole storytelling, would be nice to have idk music, other types of sensory immersion
