Initially trained as Aeronautical Engineer, Claudio Marcotulli received his B.F.A from Emerson College in Boston and M.F.A from the Miami International University of Art and Design in 2005. Since then his work has been exhibited internationally and has received support from South Florida PBS, The Knight Foundation and MDC Live Arts, among others.
Claudio Marcotulli is a Miami-based artist, working predominantly in media, sculpture and performance to create works that investigate his interest in technology and nature by illuminating existential questions around these subjects. His projects range from sculpture and performance installations to film and digital imagery that often reference memory, natural elements and issues of climate change with a surrealistic approach.
Recent commissions and exhibitions include The Deering Estate, No Vacancy by Miami Beach Arts and Culture, Aspen Institute, Coral Springs Museum of Art, Diaspora Vibe Arts Collective, Feria Clandestina, Miami International Airport MIAmi Gallery, AIRIE and solo shows at Laundromat Art Space and Edge Zones Gallery. He has also received awards and funding support from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, South Arts, The Knight Foundation, and South Florida PBS.
Marcotulli also explores principles of aerodynamics that reveal the science and poetry behind the mechanics of flight. He has been an artist in residence at Live Arts Miami’s Lab Alliance (2018), Mana Contemporary Miami (2019-2020) and Laundromat Arts Space since 2021.
