Eliane Paulino – Laurenci Filaments Statement
Laurencia is the name of an algae, whose filament structure inspired me to explore a hybrid structure of "bone and plant.”
Laurencia-Filaments/branching shows various ligaments reflecting the various ways to conduct energy, like a blood vessel, transporting particles, fluids, and information. These ligaments are the conductor passages
for the body to exchange life throughout the system that uses channels to carry information, as well material and liquid, to sustain life.
Receptor and giver
Salt is a very important chemical/mineral that sustains life, conducting electricity through its ions.
The ceramic, when fired, becomes resistant, resembling archeological artifacts.
The wood and the wax are warm elements. Encaustic gives a feeling of protection, but also of a memory of something old.
The pieces are placed on wax and when taken out, the wax reveals a footprint of the form - a memory of what once was.
The wood pedestals hold each piece in evidence, as a unique object.
Laurencia structures can be seen in various spectrums of life and nature, but also in artificial contexts.
In these times of mass and high speed communication - internet, social media, nano-technology and artificial intelligence - networks are the conductors for the expansion of communication of our civilization.
Laurencia binds societies between continents and cultures in a global society - exchanging thoughts and experiences, and breaking boundaries. Laurencia is a network building, expanding, reorganizing, and opening new Ideas for new collaboration.

INVITATION TO THE EXHIBITION
25 years of German reunification - 30 years post-dictatorship in Brazil
Since its so-called "discovery" in the 15th century, the Latin-American continent has continuously drawn the attention of researchers, travellers and artists from Europe. The "New World" was starving for information. Over time, a fascinating melting pot of cultures and races has evolved out of the ethnographic mixing of Europeans, Africans and indigenous peoples in their historical roles as conquistadores, the enslaved and the converted. A variety of symposia and exhibits on the topic were organized in 1999 on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Alexander von Humboldt's voyage to Latin-America.

Spielarten der Realität
KUNSTLERHAUS DORTMUND
7. März bis 12. April 2015
Die Ausstellung beschreibt Spielarten des Erlebens als verschiedene Wirklichkeiten mit gleichwertigem Realitätsanspruch. Die parallele Existenz von biomorphen Strukturen, transitorischen Filmmontagen, doppelbödigen Textilarbeiten, hellen Blitzen im Wald, dem Ozean als Metapher und viele andere künstlerische Sichtweisen mehr lassen das, was wir Wirklichkeit nennen, als höchstpersönliche Erzählung erscheinen. Die Arbeiten der Ausstellung wirklich wirklich variieren die Themen Traum, Täuschung und Objektivität.

Zeitgenössische brasilianische Kunst in Deutschland
Die Ausstellung MAP ART präsentiert eine Auswahl von zeitgenössischen brasilianischen Künstlern, die in Deutschland leben. Sie gehören verschiedenen
Generationen an, die hier schon seit Jahrzehnten leben oder sich erst vor kurzer Zeit für Deutschland als neue Wahlheimat entschieden haben. Für diese Protagonisten des brasilianisch-deutschen
Kulturaustausches spielt ihre Herkunft ebenso wie ihr Wohnort eine wichtige Rolle für die künstlerische Produktion. Eigene Recherchen, Bezüge und Tätigkeiten prägen maßgeblich deren
künstlerisches Schaffen.
