Films By Diego Marcon and Others

For this screening, Diego Marcon offers a carefully crafted program in two parts which intermixes a selection of his own works and short films by other artists. After spending time with his new installation Krapfen in the Renaissance Society’s gallery space, go deeper into Marcon’s distinctive world. A generous collaborator and advocate for other artists, Marcon expands the view here through a selection of other film and video works that resonate with his own films in different ways. While presenting a range of different artistic voices, they all create various ambiguous psychological spaces or draw on different filmic structures and archetypes.

This is a program in two parts. Each part runs roughly one hour, with an intermission in between.

This program can be attended in person at the Logan Center for the Arts, or viewed online in real time via Renaissance TV. The in-person and online screenings will happen simultaneously. All times listed are CDT (Chicago time.)

Presented in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago.
