# Sensational Telenovela Installations Alex Da Corte's New Show Features the Fruits of His Studies By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2015-01-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telenovela References: [itsnicethat](http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/alex-da-corte) & [alexdacorte](http://www.alexdacorte.com/) Alex Da Corte has partnered with Jayson Musson to create a philosophical telenovela installation for Philadelphia's ICA. Da Corte has invested much of his time perfecting his craft. A perpetual art student, Da Corte studied Film, Animation and Fine Arts at SVA and Printmaking and Fine Arts at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia before going on to obtain his [MFA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dramatic-arts-building) in Sculpture from [Yale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-smart-lock-system). All Da Corte's studying has been put to good use, especially when it comes to his latest [collaborative venture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition). Da Corte and Musson have produced the type of art that makes a unique social commentary on our society's excessive and vulgar tendencies. The preview of the exhibit only reinforces Da Corte's knack for making a statement. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Philosophical Telenovela Installations:** Exploring the intersection of pop culture and social commentary through immersive art experiences. - **Perpetual Art Education:** The increasing value of interdisciplinary art studies in developing unique artistic perspectives. - **Excessive and Vulgar Social Commentary:** Using provocative art installations to challenge societal norms and provoke discussions about excess and vulgarity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Education:** Incorporating interdisciplinary art studies and hands-on experiences to nurture creativity and new perspectives. - **Museum and Gallery:** Creating immersive and thought-provoking exhibits to attract a diverse audience and foster engagement. - **Social Commentary:** Developing innovative approaches to spark conversations and provoke critical thinking about cultural, social, and political issues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md) - [Cultural Contemporary Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scad-at-miami.md) - [Mexican Heritage-Honoring Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/racesroots.md) - [Mexican Heritage Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/racesroots-exhibition.md) - [Culturally Artful Textile Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/devotion-exhibtion.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [Surreal Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md)
