Intro provides an entry point to the work of artists or works that aren’t household names. In this case, it’s Serbian documentary filmmaker Zelimir Zilnik, the subject of an October 2023 retrospective that will dovetail with this year’s Unorthodocs festival of creation nonfiction films. The event includes a visit from the filmmaker for screenings October 26 and 28.. 

Chris Stults, the lead programmer for Unorthodocs and the Zilnik retrospective, connected virtually with Greg de Cuir, an independent curator based in Belgrade, Serbia, who organized the Zilnik series and a larger cross-country tour for the artist. They share information about Zilnik’s background and his radical, empathy-driven work, along with some of the films they’re excited to share with audiences.

Intro: Želimir Žilnik

For this WexCast, we listen in on a phone call between classical pianist and composer Karen Walwyn, cellist Timothy Holley, and drummer, composer, and Wexner Center Artist Residency Award recipient Mark Lomax II. As part of the curating work Lomax has been doing for the Wex this spring, he's bringing Holley and Walwyn to Columbus on Sunday, April 7 for a performance of contemporary classical works by a roster of African-American composers that includes Lomax. More information about the show is available at wexarts.org. (Image: Karen Walwyn, courtesy of the artist)
