salton sea / 2


After the exhibition we are now back on the way to san diego and we rested for the second time at the salton sea. Because of the millions of dead fish we investigated and got a result: to have an edible fish they introduced 1929 tilapias and despite the salty seawater the fish breed very well. However, they are not adapted to the environmental conditions and once the water gets too cold or the oxygen content is too low, the tortured fishes die often with a disease (vibrio) in millions. Sadly many seabirds that feed on these fishes die as well.

sonora desert museum / tucson


Should you ever come to tucson, a visit of the arizona-sonora desert museum is a must. It´s an impressively beautiful plant with a unique mix of an open space zoo, botanical desert garden and a geological exhibition. Sensational !!!

closing reception


many thanks to gail and fred tieken for this incredible event. many thanks also to all my co_workers. without their contribution this exhibition wouldn´t excist. and many thanks to everybody who had visited this co_works show.

… see us in houston, october 1st.

Here some comments about the show:

Went to check out the Co_Works show for the last time (so sad!) at Tieken Gallery. Thank you Gail and Fred Tieken, Norbert and Bettina Guthier for gracing us with this world class show in the Tiekens’ amazingly gorgeous gallery. David Paul and Kimber Jones in attendance too! The Guthiers travel the world to capture brilliant images. Next, selected artists paint pieces inspired by an image, thus creating a Co_Work. A painting and image of the same dimensions hang together as one, resulting in visual and emotional interplay between the two mediums and their subject matter.

Co_Works will be shown in Houston beginning October 1. © anne m. pylon

biosphere 2 / tucson


The billionaire edward bass wanted to have an answer to the question whether it would be possible to create a self-sufficient ecosystem and for the answer he paid about 200 million us $. In the media it was regarded as a failure, but the technically complex plant provided a super important answer: we should pay more attention to our biosphere 1!There were many unpredictable problems and thus provided answers to never asked questions.

Once the breeze from the salton sea wafted over to us, it smelled a bit strange. And since we are on expedition tour we were investigating and discovered this:
