Cinthia Marcelle: by Means of Doubt | 12.14.2022 - 2.26.2023 | Documentary Video

Cinthia Marcelle (Belo Horizonte, 1974) is one of the most relevant names in Brazilian contemporary art, working mainly with installation, photography, and video, but also with painting, collage, and drawing. This is the first panoramic exhibition devoted to the artist in Brazil and includes 49 works that encompass the two decades of her production, as well as a showcase with drawings, collages, and records that trace her process. The show gathers ten new works, some of them conceived in tandem with the museum’s architecture, as well as works produced in partnership with Tiago Mata Machado and Jean Meeran.
The way objects, ideas, and concepts are organized in the world, as well as the power structures and hierarchies that sustain these political, social, or cultural organization systems are core subjects in the artist’s production. Whether through large-scale installations or orchestrated actions involving several collaborators (such as roofers, performers, cleaning workers, or jugglers), Marcelle creates situations and interventions that question power hierarchies and invite us to reimagine other forms of collective organization. Events such as confrontations, revolts, and uprisings are present in the artist’s oeuvre for their ability to destabilize and reorganize the structures in which they are included. Materials from school or construction sites are also present in her work, evoking the power of social transformation that exists in these contexts.
Cinthia Marcelle: por via das dúvidas [Cinthia Marcelle: by Means of Doubt] is curated by Isabella Rjeille, Curator at MASP.
