The Facts
On November 9, 2026, Fondazione Prada announced a new exhibition by Alex Da Corte at its Atlas space in Milan, featuring two works: “Housepainter II” and “Mouse Museum (Van Gogh Ear).” The eighth floor of Atlas has been renewed to present these pieces, which explore the artist's identity through different means. “Mouse Museum (Van Gogh Ear)” assembles objects from Da Corte's personal collection into a portrait rooted in memory, while “Housepainter II” employs the Pink Panther character and the act of painting to transform the space physically.
The Signal
The exhibition underscores Fondazione Prada's ongoing commitment to contemporary installation art, offering a platform for Da Corte's signature blend of pop culture and personal narrative. For collectors and curators, the pairing of a performance-based work with a collection-based installation highlights Da Corte's versatility and the growing institutional interest in immersive, identity-driven practices. The Atlas space, dedicated to rotating projects, continues to position Milan as a key destination for experimental contemporary art.
