All those very usable and precious goods are supposed to be prices at our exclusive raffle! Our “Glücksfee” Beatrice is going to draw the numbers at 8pm. We’re looking forward to see you later!









The Bean remains worth a visit now and then. Today we showed it to our friends Beatrice and Mario who are visiting us for a few days.

We kindly invite you once more to visit us at our place on Damen/Iowa, this time for a late afternoon good-bye-party.

Mathis is going to bake a traditional german (pre) christmas cake and I will make some hot wine with spices. Just drop bye! This time the front door will be accessible again and we’ll hear the doorbell if you push the “Swiss-Studio” button.
Maybe there will also be some work we did or material we can’t take back which you can adopt if you find some use for it!
Wednesday 28th of November, from 3pm to 10pm, at 903 N Damen Ave, ring at “Swiss Studio”













I continue to make these drawings.




(actually, the weather is not aways that good anymore…)









For the performance “Zeitgeist” we’ll put up another static page in the project section soon!

Thank you Joseph and Christian for having us!





Thank you Carron and Anette for having us!

We perform the piece “Zeitgeist” on Sathurday 10th, 12pm-2pm at the MDW Fair on 2233 South Throop Street on the first floor at the dfb space. Other work is to see at the booth #211.




The documentation of the cave project, is now online in our project section in the top right corner ↗ of this page. To see it click on the symbol beside the black cat or here.
It’s unfortunately a super messy coding there, so it probably won’t work properly on other applications than Safari — So if anybody has the skills and mood to tell us why please don’t hesitate giving us a hint!


“Yes, Your Child Is A Rock Star!”

“Used OK’d Car”
Mathis helped our friend Claudia Bauer who is the current austrian artist in residence to put up her large scale paintings for her studio show next Thursday 8th of November. It will be on 1371 N Milwaukee Ave from 5pm until 10pm

Again at BIG FOREVER (and certainly not for the last time)


We brought the rest of Mathis’ baseball shaped birthday cake with us-
Bits and Pieces moved further south at 1430 Washtenaw. After our first visit there, we feel almost at home at BIG FOREVER, Kathy, Shelby, Mike and Julie’s new house, where they are going to host different events.




Thanks Sofia and Kathy and all the performers- we love Bits and Pieces!

We are super exited to receive the opportunity to travel for two month (february and march 2013) with the “Pfeifer Mobil” and realize our project “Hans im Glück”. Thank you Otto Pfeifer Foundation!




Yesterday I went out of town for the first time and travelled to the “Indiana Dunes”, a two hour train ride. You could see the Skyline of Chicago at the horizon. By the way, we’ll put up some pictures from the cave-project soon.


Tomorrow 25th of October from 5pm until as long as it last’s we invite you to our second studio show “The Cave”. It’s on 903 N Damen Ave (Damen/Iowa) at the Swiss Studio- We’re looking forward!
ps. We’ll have beer, home-made bread and soup…











Today we went to “Home Depot”, where we were looking for an other “Snickers” bar with almonds, but there was no more of them! That’s why we bought a “Whatchamacallit” as a substitution. We didn’t eat it yet because Nadine wants to draw it and it contains peanuts anyway. Later we went to Whole foods and spend all our money on healthy food. We also bought an expensive piece of swiss cheese– real swiss cheese from Switzerland!
Then we went back home–









You’ll find the static page of this documentation for ever in our new project section in the top right corner ↗ of this page. The cat will guide you! [see]

It was always a pleasure attending the ideas of monavale.




We really appreciated your company! Pictures of the evening and the show are coming soon…
“Cats & Bats” tomorrow 27th of September from 3pm until as long as it lasts
at our studio (903 N Damen Ave) ring at “Swiss Studio”. We’re looking forward!

Finally we have a business card!





Some pictures of shops on the way home from Logan Square.







Finally I made it to the MCA yesterday. Among other things they have a nice exhibition about skyscrapers, contemporary painting, a fishpond in the basement.



The performance “We Care For Your Fortune” we did on 7/9/12 on Milwaukee Avenue for the Out Of Site Series. We offered as a free service to the people to exchange their dirty money to the same amount of clean money, washed and polished by us.

Every customer got a receipt for the transaction.
And we landed in the middle of the rally. My teacher heart actually beats faster seeing this, since the discussion about budget cuts on education is no news for us coming from a country where a party like the SVP sits in the government. #CPS
