Thank you barbara! Today im happy to announce a female co_worker: barbara fisher from ashville / north carolina / usa, whom I met in her studio on oct. 30th. 2014 and their work inspired me. (have a look at her blog conribution here) Soon we found a common theme and voila: here is the first joint co_work: “HeavenAndEarth”. Barbara’s website can be found here (www.barbarafisher.com) and here you can see my mine (https://blog.guthier.com/) © n.g.
Gus Kopriva was born in Baden Baden, but after his mother married an american soldier, the family with the then 8 years old Gus moved to the United States. He became an engineer and worked for Dow Chemical, he married sharon (watch her video here) and discovered his passion for art. He promotes artists and exhibits their work in his gallery „redbud“ in houston heights. He also collects -among others- prints from the german expressionists. He works as a curator of exhibitions worldwide and is an excelent networker – what we experienced during our visit. He introduced us to the art scene and to many artists in houston, he took time to show us museums and interesting sites. Currently he organizes a sculpture project on the heights boulevard. (i will report). The encounter with him was a highlight of our recent trip – thank you Gus. © n.g.
Wayne Gilbert and his G Gallery was recommended by a guy at the Artfair “Untitled” in Miami Beach.
Thank you Wayne, for taken us to the station museum where the exhibition “degrees of separation” is being installed. The Opening of the exhibition will be held on Jan.17th and by the way: what we already had seen promises to be exciting! Wayne Gilbert has been searching many years for a truly original idea in his personal artistic expression until he finally found it in1998: He uses the remains of human beings after they were cremated in the pigments for his pictures. His work thus moves on the edge of life and death and it gives those people, whose remains he integrates into his art, a degree of immortality.
Thank you emilio martinez !! Here is the first co_work with an american artist and I hope moore artworks will follow soon for the planned co_works exhibitions in Germany and in the United States. Click here for a video about emilio. Thanks also to all artists we previously had met and especially to those who have committed a cooperation.
I’ll keep you up dated. Stay tuned.

For 5 bucks you get into the small exhibition spaces of the new orleans voodoo museum. Hopefully voodoo helps against pneumoconiosis as well, because the cleaner of the museum is indisposed since decades. It looks like a shabby german ghost train, except that us cents swell out of the skulls. Voodoo is one of the huge religions and it`s not just about to maltreat dolls with needles. As in any other religion it´s about stoking fears and earn money. ©n.g.
