RU artist-in-residence Erika Malzoni in the RU voices interview series 🎤
Erika’s work has been part of the duo exhibition “Domesticated” at RU House at Colonels Row, Building #404B, on Governors Island.
Erika Malzoni is a Brazilian visual artist working across sculpture, installation, and text-based interventions. Her practice mobilizes everyday materials – ceramics, textiles, mirrors, packaging, and found objects – to interrogate structures of visibility, value, and belonging. Treating language as both medium and material, she activates public and intimate spaces through subtle gestures of repetition, displacement, and accumulation. Her work often reveals the invisible networks that connect people, objects, and everyday life.
Before dedicating herself fully to visual arts, she studied data processing and later completed a Postgraduate Certificate (Lato Sensu) in Systems Analysis at FAAP – Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado in São Paulo (1988), an early formation that resonates with her ongoing interest in relational structures, networks, and patterns of connection in everyday life. She has maintained an independent visual arts practice since 2009.
