REVIEW: Diego Marcon, “Krapfen” at the Renaissance Society Diego Marcon’s Krapfen closed at the Renaissance Society two weeks ago, leaving me haunted by its hallows. The Italian artist, in his US debut curated by Myriam Ben Salah, presented this film through the double doors of Cobb Hall, confronting viewers with the backside of a gridded and clamped LED screen before they could face the unified front of it. Every inch of wall in the 3200 square foot gallery was rendered in an egg yolk veneer of yellow paint, complimented with matching wall-to-wall carpet and electric cables. The Ren’s gothic arched windows, opaqued with a white film, foreclosed the outside world of the University of Chicago’s campus, flattening the exterior light source for the unfolding of strange and familiar events.
