Virtual 7: Katharina Gierlach - Across the Pond
09. January - 28. February 2017
Blick in die Ausstellung
During my entire stay in the US from September 24th till November 16th, 2016 it rained on only three and a half days. The weather was so nice. Being from Bavaria where long periods of fair weather are unusual, I was constantly anticipating a change in the weather. I took advantage of the weather and went walking or jogging with my camera a lot.
VCCA is situated within sight of the Blue Ridge Mountains - a popular outing destination in the fall when the leaves change colors. I took this picture on the campus of nearby Sweet Briar College.

Virtual 7: Katharina Gierlach - Across the Pond
Travelling is in general considered to be a source of inspiration. A different environment, a foreign language and new acquaintances sharpen the senses und open one's mind. In the autumn of 2016 the painter Katharina Gierlach (formerly Dietlinger) spent several weeks in New York and Virginia. Through a stipend from the Oberpfälzer Künstlerhaus she spent six weeks at the Virgina Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA).In Virginia she met artist colleagues from other disciplines. This exchange, combined with a break from daily routine, as well as the opportunity to experiment are what makes centers such as VCCA so unique. The virtual exhibition shown here is a result of her stay abroad. It is a combination of photographs that Katharina Gierlach made while travelling and of paintings she made at her studio at VCCA. She explains why she took certain snapshots, what she sees in them and what she watches out for.
