The New Museum has opened a major solo exhibition by artist Diego Marcon titled Arrivederci, Piggies! The show features four distinct films, including the premiere of a new work commissioned through a multi-institutional partnership.
Why it matters
The exhibition showcases the first project produced by the New Futures Production Fund, a collaborative initiative between the New Museum and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo intended to foster new creative commissions.
The exhibition features four films by Diego Marcon, an artist born in 1985, presented as an immersive environment. The centerpiece film, Krapfen, marks the inaugural output of the New Futures Production Fund.
