Cinthia Marcelle
Fence Mirage (MDD version)

Among the key intentions of Cinthia Marcelle (*1974, Belo Horizonte, lives and works in Sao Paulo) is the proposal of a disorganization of things. Understood as an ongoing creation ofstates of entropy, her works attempt to break with long-established hegemonic norms of coexistence.

Departing from the economic and social conditions between natural and urban environments,her works operate with sparse gestures, often with simple material found at hand. They strongly resonate with the respective sites, her own artistic output included: repeatedly, the artist re-creates and re-thinks her existing bodies of work, which manifests in multiple new iterations.

Characterized by a visual economy and a rigor in form, her presentation at Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens consists in a progression of Fence Mirage (2005), which made part of the artist’s first solo show. It flattens the hierarchies between the museum’s outside and inside and approaches the local conditions of exclusion and inclusion at the same way as it conflicts issues of borders and threshold in a larger framework.
