Paper Art Exhibition at Stihl Gallery in Waiblingen
Our ViNe networking programme aims to promote mutual acquaintance, interdisciplinary exchange and cross-disciplinary understanding between researchers from twenty institutes at the University of Stuttgart, two MPI Departments and Bauhaus Erde encompassing architecture, structural engineering, building physics, engineering geodesy, manufacturing and systems engineering, computer science and robotics, as well as human and social sciences.
On 1st October, we visited the exhibition "Angela Glajcar. Not a cruise, a crossing" at the Stihl Gallery in Waiblingen. Angela Glajcar’s art ranges from monumental paper installations made with up to 800 g/m² paper to delicate works. During the visit, the sculptor provided an exclusive insight into her working methods, digital planning, 3D modelling, and her interaction with different spaces. As well as discussing the challenges of working with paper, she spoke about how white paper creates a dialogue by reflecting light and space. After an engaging discussion, the group took part in a workshop to experience the paper works first-hand.
"We are constantly, unconsciously, aware of space. We rarely talk about the effect that space and its atmosphere have on us, but we react to it intuitively. This unconscious effect of space is deeply rooted within us, and sculpture, as a language of space, translates this into something visible."
Angela Glajcar
Angela Glajcar trained as a sculptor at the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Nuremberg where she was a Master Student of Tim Scott.
Angela was a visiting professor for sculpture at the University of Gießen and won several awards, as the Emy Roeder and the Phoenix Art Award and currently the Scholarship Drawing and Paper Art Waiblingen, where she also holds the Mentorship Drawing and Paper Art.
Initially, she used paper as a preliminary sketch for her heavy sculptures made of wood and metal. Over the course of her career, she discovered the previously hidden sculptural possibilities of paper – a fragile, two-dimensional material – and developed the impressive art of paper sculpture.
