Over the past decade, Cinthia Marcelle has become internationally known for her potent moving-image works and powerful large-scale installations. At the same time, her monumentally-scaled work has always been accompanied by the production of drawings, photographs, small objects and subtle forms of spatial intervention.

Bringing together a body of work dating back to the early 2000s, this exhibition emphasizes the artist’s constant preoccupation with the dynamics of collectivism and the poetics of accumulation, multiplication and repetition. It also brings into focus the distinct aesthetics of her work, including static long-takes, and the repeated use of materials and colors that speak on the specific contexts of production.

Marcelle’s moving-image works and large-scale installations are in collaboration with individuals from pre-existing groups or communities, including laborers, activist blocs, industrial workers, musicians and museum staff. Through drawing, and the production of homemade films, Marcelle focuses our attention on intimate forms of inter-subjective relation, including memory, collaboration, education, influence and love.
