Based in Venice,(Italy), Manchester (UK) and Reykjavik (Iceland).
She is currently living in Venice.


Marina Marques was born in Natal, north-eastern Brazil in 1998 and grew up in Italy. Trained in visual arts, photography and curatorial practices in  Venice,England and Iceland.
In her research and practice she likes to curate projects, concepts and desires in the tensions between materiality and impalpability, invisibility and sensuality, exploring the performative potential of the minor senses, especially olfaction, in the visual arts.

During 2021, through the curatorial action "Curatela Placebo" she has created You Keep Me Under No Smell, in collaboration with Emma Lecchini, Margherita Falqui and Silvia Marchese. YKMUNS is an editorial/sensorial project investigating the loss of the sense of smell; distributed by Edicola 518 and exhibited at Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan with Rea! Art Fair, 2021, Venice Art Projects, Venice, in 2021, Living Art Museum in Reykjavik, Olfactory Art Keller in New York. 


Since 2021 she collaborates with the contemporary art magazines ArtsLife and Segno, regularly publishing critical essays and interviews with contemporary artists.

Marina Marques è nata a Natal, nord-est del Brasile nel 1998 e cresciuta in Italia. E’ formata in arti visive, fotografia e curatela tra Venezia, Inghilterra e Islanda. Nella sua ricerca e pratica ama curare progetti, concetti e desideri nelle tensioni tra materialità e impalpabilità, invisibilità e sensualità, esplorando il potenziale performativo dei sensi minori nelle arti visive.
