Diego Marcon: Arrivederci, Piggies!

“Arrivederci, Piggies!” is presented at the New Museum as a live event situated inside an exhibition setting, featuring performer and artist Diego Marcon. The work draws on theatrical gesture and visual art tactics, placing bodies, voice, and staging in direct contact with the museum’s public space. In New York, where performance regularly migrates between downtown theaters and contemporary art institutions, it reads as part of that ongoing crossover. Its plain, controlled delivery leaves room for discomfort as a form of attention rather than spectacle.
