Legendary French filmmaker and visual artist Agnès Varda will be in residency at the University of Chicago from October 8–15, coinciding with the screening of many of her films as well as an installation of her video art and photography in the Logan Center. Screenings began Thursday night with an exhibition of her 2011 documentary Agnès Varda: From Here to There, accompanied by a Q&A and an introduction by the artist herself. There is a formal opening reception on Friday at 5 p.m. in the Logan Center Gallery, followed by an Artist Talk delivered by Varda.
