"Galiana meticulously loops small fragments of shredded paper - from envelopes, notes, old artwork, and the like - into delicate adn deliberate circular shapes, building a novel relationship with the quotidian." - Katarina Wong. Read more here.
"Inspired by the hope that Spring WILL arrive this year, and having hope for all sorts of things anyway, electrical bananas, the sun, daffodils, lemons and yellow submarines...Drawing Rooms spring exhibit, 'Right Now It's All Yellow.' ...is dedicated to Donovan, who's music was emblematic of the flower power era with its blend of folk, pop, psycheldelica and jazzy stylings." - Anne Trauben, Artist, Curator, Gallery Director.

"My graphic design practice reinforced my "innate" work ethics. When I took a sabbatical after ten years of visual art direction in Paris, I then moved to New York and I let my 'artistic soul' out of the cage. And again, I had to observe my new environment and make things. Not speaking a word of English when I arrived, I pulled out my gouache painting kit, one of the few belongings that I brought with me and I started an ongoing series of paintings that I called Talkatives." - Read more here.

"Pauline Galiana's 'Fantastic Blooms n°20' playfully mimics a tailed creature, crafted from plastic bento box dividers meticulously stitched onto a branch. Theis blend of synthetic and natural materials highlights both tension and harmony between human-made objects and nature, inviting viewers to reflect on the complex coexistence of the artificial and organic, and to imagine a more symbiotic future." Read more here.
"My work blends noble and mundane materials deconstructing and reconstructing them into hybrid forms. I waste nothing. My processes are both obsessive and meditative, combining meticulous planning and patient execution." Read more here.

Art Lives Here presents, Layers of Identity, a site-responsive exhibition at
El Barrio’s Artspace PS 109.
"The exhibition explores the layers of societal structures and personal experiences that form how we see ourselves. Where we are from and where we have been often influences how we express ideas, as it does with all three well-travelled artists. Pauline Galiana, Hollie Heller and Joanne Steinhardt create in layers of materials, although informed by traditional techniques the contemporary aesthetic is unexpected." Read more here.
"The exhibition 'Unbound Variable' invites viewers into a dynamic exploration of the fluid boundaries between technology, nature, and human identity." Read more here.

"Artwork in this show is meant to be eye-opening, engaging, thought-provoking, inspiring, poetic, and even sometimes playful and optimistic. How are contemporary artists engaging with objects in a world overrun with too much stuff?" Read more here.
Superpresent Magazine, Volume 4.1 features work under the theme "Provocations/Instigations" and includes my short video "It Never Dies."
"A hand-made quilt crafted from plastic bags takes on many roles in the hands of an individual who cherishes it— it becomes a shelter, a tablecloth, a picnic blanket, a quilted bedcover, cleaned in a laundry machine, and hung to dry. Although the practices in the video are not recommended, the video aims to trigger imagining how to reuse and the purpose of plastic material." Video by Pauline Galiana. Editing by Sofia Due Rosenzweig and Mafe Izaguirre. Read Super Present Volume 4.1

Announcing the release of Third Iris's sixth issue, Forever Soup! This issue is focused on our relationship to food and includes work from 42 contributors.
"True, the interplay between Affiliation/Alienation is a slight one; if you squint, the narrow gap between the two concepts may appear to not exist at all. Perhaps we are all inherently alienated beings, and perhaps that is the cost that comes with bodily autonomy, perceived free will. But at the end of it all, we find belonging – to languages, places, intangible spaces, because 'what else' can we do, 'in the face of the indifferent universe?'" - Anita Donovan, Excerpt from Editor's Note. Cover art: Hugh Kerr. Read more here.

The exhibition 'Transplants' explores the act of moving a living thing from one place to another, whether a human being, a culture, an internal organ, or a botanical specimen. In each instance, the transplants undergo both a physical migration and transformation of identity as they adapt to their new surroundings. The hope is they grow new roots and thrive, but there is also potential peril if the new environment proves inhospitable.
Two pieces from the Shredded series will be on display at Artego's upcoming group exhibition in Queens, NY. This series looks at the seemingly mundane and discarded- personal documents, notes, and paper artwork, which are subjected to a meticulous process of selecting, cutting, looping, and gluing into a rigorous grid. The resulting pieces are an intricate statement about recycling and explore the human mind's resilience and determination to make sense of entropy.
"CBCA is proud to present Mind and Body, a solo exhibition of works on paper by Pauline Galiana. This exhibition features work from three of Galiana’s major series: Inside, Generation, and Shredded; each of which explores a distinct aspect of what makes us human in either mind or body. Through this survey of Galiana’s practice, we consider her nuanced expression of the point at which life transforms from something technical to something profound." Curated by Tessa Rosenstein.

"Are We Free to Move About the World: The Passport in Contemporary Art opens...at Florida State University’s Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA). Curated by Grace Aneiza Ali, curator and assistant professor in the FSU Departments of Art and Art History, the exhibition explores how contemporary artists engage with the passport to reflect one’s freedom of movement or lack thereof. The exhibition aims to investigate how artists treat the passport as an object of inquiry, both precious and stripped of its meaning, unpacking it as an urgent response to the global migration crisis." Read more here.
"Are our brains essentially pattern recognition machines? We are all wired to see patterns - fractals in nature, trends in events, even behaviors that reoccur over time. Patterns help us create a sense of order and balance in our worlds, and allow us to attach meaning to objects and experiences." Read more here.

"Wood and Paper have the same substance, but how artists use the same original substance to create their works can result in a panorama of optical delight with ideas that perhaps we have never thought of before." Read more here.
Local Project is pleased to present “TRASH”, an exhibition that provokes a conversation about the environment through art. We ask the question, “what is our relationship with trash?” How could something that was once loved, treasured or used be tossed away? Can we give these objects a second chance and utilize them to create something new and beautiful? Visitors are invited to view our eclectic collection of objects, assemblages, and creations. Curated by Tim Kelly.
Nearly White presented work of 12 artists. In their interpretations, Nearly White could be purity, an ecstasy, an illusion, or an objective mindset; it could also represent chaotic situations, strength in coldness, and inner reflections... The possibilities go on.
"Artists grasp ideas and set out to make visible what has occurred in their mind's eye. How then to decide the scale of the idea? The works in this show demonstrate, instead of telling, how the urge to materialize an idea compels them to create smaller or larger...and why." - Cecilia André, Curator
“Little Moons”, my #USPSArtProject with Liz Jaff / @jaffworks. This collaborative piece will be for sale at @InLiquidArt Artist Studio Gallery in Philadelphia, November 23 - January 17, 2021. It was very challenging to alter Liz’ quiet and symmetrical piece. It took me time to put down my inhibition to bring a different melody to “Little Moons”. Graphite, colored pencil and strass on cut-out paper.
“Armadillo” (lower) is the other part of the project. Because this art project created and run by the amazing Christina Massey is all about supporting the US Postal Service, I collaged vintage white envelopes in a quiet and symmetrical pattern challenging Liz on her own turf and secured them with a red thread, a material Liz uses in her quilt-making practice. She had to sharpen her exacto to cut through, fold and make the envelope background bloom into a beautiful art piece.
