Marlon de Azambuja (b.1978, Brasil, Porto Alegre), lives and works in Paris, France. De Azambuja works across a range of media including sculpture, installation, photography, and drawing. His work explores architecture and urbanism and the power-structures and norms that emanate from public space design choices. He is particularly interested in the history of Modernist architecture in Brazil and how this has affected collective consciousness and affected people’s lives. Frequently using found materials, De Azambuja’s work is often site-specific and strongly tied to the location he physically intervenes in.
De Azambuja has exhibited internationally in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at Alternder Warehouses, Hamburg; MEIAC, Spain; and Kadist Art Foundation, San Francisco. His work is in various notable collections, including the Ministry of Culture, Spain; Kadist Art Foundation, San Francisco; Museo Oscar Niemeyer, Brazil; and Nomas Foundation, Rome. De Azambuja is recognized as one of the leading contemporary artists in Brazil, and his work has received critical acclaim for its thought-provoking exploration of social and political issues.
