Glenstone Museum — Alex Da Corte's Rubber Pencil Devil (Hell House)

Inside Room 6 of the Pavilions sits a neon sculpture shaped like a house on fire — artist Alex Da Corte's 2022 walk-in piece Rubber Pencil Devil (Hell House), commissioned by the museum, which houses his own 2018 video work inside its glowing frame. Da Corte performs in his own videos, in prosthetics and costume, recasting familiar American cartoon imagery as something unsettling.

The move: Book a free timed-entry pass, walk the wooded path between single-artist Pavilion rooms, step inside the neon Hell House, then finish at the Water Court for quiet contemplation.
