    Doppelganger : A group show by German American Artists (GAA), a group of nine German-born, visual artists comes to the 1870 Art Center. The art exhibition explores the influences of Germany and America, two worlds, one in which the artists grew up and the other where they are living now. The art of GAA is diverse and includes collage, sculpture, oil paintings, assemblage, and photography. 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.
