Artist Talk with Pollock-Krasner
Artist-in-Residence Sara Dittrich
Tuesday, March 4, 2025
6 PM
Join us for an artist talk featuring our 2025 Pollock-Krasner Artist-in-Residence, Sara Dittrich, who is currently at the Fine Arts Work Center for a printmaking residency.
During her residency, Dittrich is exploring the intersection of micro and macro by creating experimental monoprints that use plant seeds to depict imagery of starry night skies. This work is inspired by a recent trip to a remote area of Chile, where she was captivated by the night sky.
This program is free to attend.
Sara Dittrich is a Baltimore-based interdisciplinary artist. Dittrich’s work is often informed by residencies and travel. These locations afford collaborations, community, and materials that inspire new bodies of site-specific work. Such projects have included time-lapse imaging of landscapes, local skies and tidal patterns, and the somatic effects of time and a place on the body. Her artworks and exhibitions include sculpture, prints, video, and interactive installations with biometric sensors, and data-driven performance. Trained as both musician and visual artist, Dittrich creates multisensory experiences that are experienced in real-time using musical thinking to illuminate the dynamic and unconscious rhythms of the body and environments.
Residencies and research programs have included Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Sculpture Space, and Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (Prague). She is the recipient of a Fine Arts Work Center Fellowship (Provincetown, MA), Vermont Studio Center Fellowship and Mary Sawyers Baker Artist Award. Dittrich’s work has been exhibited with the Baltimore Museum of Art, The Sculpture Center (Cleveland), and DiverseWorks (Houston). Her artist lectures and talks have been presented by the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Cafe Neu Romance International Robot Performing Arts Festival (Prague). Publications featuring her artwork include Floorr Magazine. Reviews and articles including her work have appeared in BmoreArt, Hyperallergic and The Washington Post, and she has been featured on Maryland Public Television. Her performances and screenings have been presented by CultureHub, Revolutions per Minute Film Festival, and Maryland Art Place.
