Bio

Carolina Paz is a Brazilian artist whose work moves at the intersection of language, poetic consciousness, and social change. She shifts among painting, installation, text, video, and reconfigurations of care, creating gestures of closeness, interruption, and realignment. She meets the world as matter in process, often through iteration, dislocation, and attentive presence.

Curatorial and pedagogical modes are integral to her practice; she builds platforms, programs, and exhibitions as living ecologies that question, hold, and transform. She founded Uncool Artist, a structure for experimental development and field transformation, and serves as both artist and board member at A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn. From 2010 to 2017 she directed Coletivo 2e1 in São Paulo.

Her work has been shown in museums, biennials, institutional venues, and artist-run spaces in Brazil, the United States, Spain, Portugal, and Argentina. She received the Funarte Visual Arts Prize, and her pieces are held in private and public collections in the United States, Europe, and Brazil.

She holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York and graduate degrees in Social Sciences and in Media and Knowledge from the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil.
