Suzanne Lacy (Buffalo, New York, 1991)

Lacy created a residency to consider cancer, death, and the workings of a large Cancer research hospital in upstate New York. Under the auspices of Artpark, she met hourly over seven working days to conduct interviews with patients, doctors, nurses, researchers, and administrators of Roswell Memorial Hospital, recorded as diagrams and notes on large newsprint paper. The interviews took place in a vacant room on a children's ward, where a temporary installation of the diagrams was built upon each day and displayed for project participants. The project was documented graphically by Lacy and Leslie Becker.
