The Facts
On September 16, 2026, the New Museum announced it will present "Diego Marcon: Arrivederci, Piggies," the artist's first solo museum exhibition in New York City. The show, running from September 25, 2026, to January 31, 2027, will feature three of Marcon's recent films alongside a newly commissioned work, "Krapfen" (2025), produced by the New Museum in collaboration with Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Lafayette Anticipations, the Renaissance Society, and the Vega Foundation. Marcon's moving-image and sound installations draw on horror, slapstick, and cartoon genres to subvert cinematic archetypes, blending fable-like narratives with existential melancholy.
The Signal
The exhibition signals the New Museum's continued commitment to showcasing mid-career European artists whose work bridges popular culture and philosophical inquiry. For collectors and curators, Marcon's rising institutional profile—marked by this New York debut and a major new commission—suggests growing market momentum for his film-based practice. The collaboration among five international institutions also underscores a model for shared production that reduces financial risk while amplifying an artist's global reach.
