Cinthia Marcelle (born 1974, Belo Horizonte, Brazil; lives in São Paulo, Brazil) graduated in Fine Arts from the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Navigating between installation, photography, video, painting, collage, and drawing, Marcelle develops her work around the conceptual systems that politically and culturally organize the world. Therefore, social data is central to the conception of her work and often involves collective elaborative processes. Since 2008, she has been developing coauthored videos with Tiago Mata Machado. Marcelle has participated in numerous solo exhibitions, including at Serralves, Porto (2025); Wattis Institute at California College of the Arts, San Francisco (2018); Modern Art Oxford, Oxford (2017); MoMA PS1, Queens (2016); and Secession, Vienna (2014). Her participation in group exhibitions include 6th Kochi-Muziris Biennale (2025); 15th Gwangju Biennale (2024); 10th Berlin Biennale (2018); 12th Sharjah Biennale (2015); New Museum Triennial (2012); 13th Istanbul Biennale (2013); 29th São Paulo Biennale (2010); 9th Lyon Biennale (2007); and 9th Havana Biennale (2006). She was awarded a National Participation Special Mention for her presentation in the Brazilian Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale (2017); The Future Generation Art Prize (2010); International Prize for Performance (2006); and Bolsa Pampulha (2003).
