Abstract

In march 2018, the Brazilian artist Cinthia Marcelle opened at the Modern Art Oxford her first solo exhibition after her participation at the Venice Biennal. For the MAO show, Marcelle and the museum invited six local artists and technicians to occupy, interfere, destabilize, or destroy the installation they had previously built together under the supervision of the artist. In this essay, I offer a reading of the show and its process as a retrospective and a challenge Marcelle had issued on herself and her system.
