FRAME captures Rubber Pencil Devil by Alex Da Corte, the final series of fifty-seven videos installed within a glowing house built with colorful neon lights, inspired by Da Corte’s time spent drawing at a diner during art school. Da Corte’s images are paired with the words from Bob Dylan’s 1965 “Subterranean Homesick Blues” video and the artist wonders, “fifty years later, maybe this is a similar moment, in need of some empathetic conversation and maybe if I use [Dylan’s] words and pair them with my images, I might make sense of America.” (via)
