Doppelgänger Art by German American Artists The word Doppelänger has many definitions. The one that describes the spirit of this exhibition is akin to the meaning found in fiction, dealing with parallel universes, where a person exists in more than one place at the same time. As German-born artists, where we were born, raised and educated created a persona - the Doppelgänger - which remains a strong influence on our art no matter how long we have lived and worked on American soil. Our Doppelgänger might be shaped by the clean design principles of the Bauhaus, by an innocent youth spent on a German farm or by the impressions of WWII and its aftermath. The work we create is an interweaving of our Doppelgänger with who we are now with all its cultural and political influences.

German American Artists (GAA) is a group of German-born, visual artists. The group was founded in 2005 by Bay Area artists, Werner Glinka, Inge Infante and Ines Tancré to promote the work of artists who have a strong affinity to German culture. Today German American Artists include: Werner Glinka, Silke Henkel-Wallace, Inge Infante, Natasha Jülicher, Susanne Kaspar, Bertolt Schmidt, Heike Seefeldt, Ines Tancré and Julian Voss-Andreae. This exhibition explores the influences of Germany and America, two worlds, one we grew up in, the other we are living in now yet It is a particular challenge for us to transform and depict these subjects by means of visual arts. In this way our work is to be understood as a product of critical analysis as well as a condensed form of story-telling - about the dual soul.
