My health

Ok, they are chances that my kidney tumor might not be cancerous.

They'll know for sure next week when I'm being operated.



I got one week to decide if I remove all one kidney
or just half of it (they are good things and risks
in both. The operation is tougher with half kidney).



I am meeting other specialists.



I am cancelling many show visits for a while,
but it's my luck that I haven't heard about anything
ending before March that I really couldn't cope
missing. There is BGL in Montreal that I will
see before my op.

The canadian art show at Jack Shainman sounded like
bigger than anything that happened here in a while,
but, can't make it I'm afraid.



The last show I visited (I cancelled
an art trip in Boston) was "Pardon Me"
at Taran Gallery.


A fascinating show, but everything was all
kept to the anonymous level when I would've
been curious to know more about the people
who got caught or voluntarely participated
in these inter-personal artworks.

For once I questioned the beauty and pertinence
of anonimity.


Disrupting the distance is one
next big step in art.

Forget about your art ambitions for a sec.
Don't use me. Talk to me like you're a human being.



Cheers,

If you don't know me by now...

Hello everybody.


I've been off for the very unfortunate reason of getting diagnosised with kidney cancer.

I'm fighting it off with a couple operations (got stones in my liver).


I think I will survive it (it's not metastatic).
So please consider me alive.



I promissed the good lord (yes, I've become religious all of a sudden, you know how it is) to start making art again when I'll get through all this.


I'm very curious to see where that would lead me.



Have a good one,


Love,

Cedric (who just celebrated his 35th birthday)
