Known for her vertiginous, large-scale murals of room interiors, Giersbach has produced smaller versions in three colors as easy-to-transfer wall decals. She isolated and manipulated three views of the empty set of Hitchcock’s classic 1954 suspense thriller, Dial M for Murder. With Certificate of Authenticity.
Giersbach makes paintings, murals, and public art works that deal primarily with ideas of pictorial space and location. Works have been exhibited at venues including Roebling Hall, Sandroni Rey, Deitch Projects, White Columns, Wave Hill, Galerie Faurschou (Copenhagen), Galerie Asbaek (Copenhagen), Museo Rufino Tamayo (Mexico City), and Kunsthalle Nurnberg (Nurnberg). Public art works are located in New York, New Jersey, and Florida, and include a mosaic ceiling commissioned by the MTA on the L line in Brooklyn. Educated at Vassar College (BA), Rutgers University (MFA), and the Skowhegan School, Giersbach has received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Vassar College, and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. Residencies include Cite Internationale des Arts, Nordisk Kunstnarsenter Dalasen, and The MacDowell Colony.
