Structurally, the videos were identical; each consisted of 133 photographs of my face, one morphing into the next. The pacing of each image was the same for each video, as was the dissolve time. The length of both was also the same: 18 min. 58 sec. The difference between them was that in '133 Days', the time line was 133 consecutive days; 2.23.87 - 7.5.87, whereas in '133 Months', the images ran 133 consecutive months, beginning on the same date, 2.23.87, but ending eleven years later, on 2.23.98.

On September 29th, 2000, I went for my annual physical. My doctor told me I was in great shape. His words to me as I left his office were: "Whatever it is you're doing, keep it up!" A month later I was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. My treatment consisted of six months of weekly chemotherapy, followed by surgery. "A Long Year" is a time-lapse film of my face during the period of my diagnosis, treatment and recovery. The accompanying soundtrack consists of conversations with doctors and other health care providers, family members and friends. After cancer, one lives with the hope that the disease has left the body. One learns to accept that it doesn't leave the mind. Kark Baden |
| 9. |  | Karl Baden 2007 Installation view of "Karl Baden: Every Day 2.23.87 - 2.23.07, Twenty Years / Ten Bucks" Howard Yezerski Gallery, Boston MA [Every Day] Digital image Provided by the artist - Karl Baden Karl Baden Every Day: 2/23/87 - 2/23/07 Twenty Years - Ten Bucks May 4 - May 29, 2007 Opening Reception: Friday May 4th 5 -7 pm From May 4 - 29, 2007, Howard Yezerski Gallery will be exhibiting an installation of 7,300 photographs marking the 20th anniversary of gallery artist Karl Baden's work-in-progress 'Every Day'. In the midst of all the recent buzz about various twenty-something's taking daily pictures of their faces and posting them on YouTube as Quicktime films, it is possible to overlook the fact that Karl Baden has been quietly and consistently making a daily photograph of his own face for more than two decades, and has presented various facets of this ongoing, lifelong endeavor in more than a dozen exhibition spaces and publications. Baden, a photographer and faculty member at Boston College, began the series 'Every Day' on February 23rd 1987. Since that date, he has, on a daily basis, made a photograph of his face. The circumstances under which this picture is taken, says Baden, "… are as controlled as I am able to make them and still maintain a life. I use a single camera, a single type of extremely high-resolution film, an electronic strobe, a tripod and a white backdrop. A small, additional tripod and backdrop make the setup portable; it accompanies me when I travel. The camera is always set at the same distance. I try to center myself in the frame, maintain a neutral expression and look straight into the lens." Baden considers it essential that each days image be no more nor less than a detailed visual record of his presence. "I intentionally avoid odd framing, engaging composition, unusual lighting or any other strategy that favors the photograph at the expense of the subject," he states, adding, " In essence, my attempt has been to standardize the technical and logistic aspects of this procedure to the extent that only one variable remains: whatever change may occur in my face and flesh, measured obsessively and incrementally by the day, for the rest of my life." The nature of 'Every Day' presumes it to be a work in progress. The form of its presentation varies, depending on space and circumstance. Being somewhat older than the YouTube generation, Baden has so far limited display of his project to gallery and museum settings, re-configuring the presentation, photograph, digital image or time-lapse film, to fit each venue. In this site-specific installation, Baden will cover the walls of Howard Yezerski Gallery's back room with contact size prints of every image from the first twenty years of the project. These photographs, each measuring approximately 1.2 by 1.7 inches, are printed on doubleweight, fiber-based gelatin silver paper. Each is dated, signed and numbered (from an edition of 3). All prints are priced at ten dollars each, available on a first-come, first-served basis. By pricing the work so low, Baden takes a subtle poke at the workings of the art market, as well as adding a participatory component to the exhibition, encouraging anyone to purchase prints from days which may have resonance in his or her life. The photographs will be removed from the installation as they are purchased, much the same as how the individual days disappear from our own lives. To view the installation in it's entirety, members of the press are urged to come to the gallery prior to the opening on May 3rd. |

My doctor told me I was in great shape. His words to me as I left his office were: "Whatever it is you're doing, keep it up!" One month later, I was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. Statement "These inkjet prints are from the series 'A Hair above Normal', a document of my year of treatment for prostate cancer.

"Uh huh.." "Is that true?" "Uh huh.." "Did somebody say that you could, or did you just figure that out for yourself?" "I'm just scared. I'm scared that you're gonna die?" "Really?" "Yes, really." "Well, let me tell you something, sweetie.. First of all, I'm not going to die. Because the kind of cancer I have you can get cured from." "Yeah, but you can also die." "Weel, but the chances of getting cured are much greater than the chances of dying. And if I don't feel well now, it's because of the chemo; it's not because of the cancer. The cancer doesn't hurt at all. I really think that I'm gonna be around for a long time, Ok?" "Ok.." "I mean really. I'm not kidding.." Statement "These inkjet prints are from the series 'A Hair above Normal', a document of my year of treatment for prostate cancer.

"Y'know something? You've got some time to think about this. I would say that the disadvantage to the injection is that each time you want to have sex, you've got to get a needle, you've got to inject, and it does take away a little bit from the spontaneity of the moment.." Statement "These inkjet prints are from the series 'A Hair above Normal', a document of my year of treatment for prostate cancer.

She figures either she's caught a bug, or she's pregnant. Perhaps it's just nerves. "When was my last period?" She knows I keep track these days. "September 11th. Do you feel sick?" "Well, sort ofà" I remind myself that I have agreed to this, and that, somehow, it's supposed to make sense. Maybe we should just go out and buy the damn test. Why wait? Liz is excited. "But I'm frightened, too," she says. No fooling. I'm so scared I can barely stand. 11 pm. Pull out the pregnancy home test kit. I read the instructions aloud. Fumble around with bottles and tubes. I'm staring at the tip of that flat, white stick. I remember feeling like this back in high school, waiting for my number to be announced in the Draft Lottery. I'm holding my breathà Statement "Liz and I became first-time parents as we entered middle age. Our daughter was born three weeks after Liz's 39th birthday and four days short of my 42nd. Our decision to have a child was the result of four years filled with discussion, negotiation, second guessing, threat and counterthreat, outright battling and, finally, agreement. We would both take this journey, Liz reassured me; the distant glow of our destination was sunshine and not the headlight of an oncoming train. These are page reproductions, excerpted from 'The Kid' an unpublished, unabashedly biased and self-involved chronicle describing how we allowed our lives to change in a way that is at once commonplace and extraordinary. All text in 'The Kid' is from my journal entries. The tale is told in my voice and seen through my eyes. I make no claim to objectivity. Hope and fear go hand and hand." (Karl Baden, May 19, 2007) |

It's not that I don't believe it; rather, I'm trying not to believe it. I look up at Liz. She's wearing an enormous grin. "We made this together!" she says, "It's a miracle!" She hugs me, but I'm too stunned to respond. All I want now is to go to bed and not feel like I have to figure everything out tonightà 10/13/93 2:30 am Fat chance. I'll be up till dawn.

Is this what it's going to be like for the next twenty years? After a decade and a half of insomnia, having a kid to take care of will either solve the problem ("You'll be too tired not to sleep," say my parent friends), or turn me into a raving, drooling psychopath. I don't see as how I have much choice but to see a sleep specialist. Liz tries to reassure me. "We're in this together. It won't all be your responsibility." An hour later, she's in tears. My fear is so overwhelming, she says, she's unable to tell me how frightened she is. Statement "Liz and I became first-time parents as we entered middle age. Our daughter was born three weeks after Liz's 39th birthday and four days short of my 42nd.

I'm almost afraid to touch them. It's as if they've become independent organisms, with lives of their own. I worry about how I'll feel when she really begins to look pregnant.

| 26. |  | Karl Baden 1994-1996 Untitled [The Kid] Page layout from unpublished book variable Provided by the artist - Karl Baden 4/14/94 The specialist I've been seeing for my insomnia has me undergo a sleep study. I spend the night in a room equipped for this purpose, where I am hooked up to an elaborate array of instruments, designed to measure my every eye movement, muscle twitch, heartbeat, breath and brainwave. By the time the technician has finished attaching wires, tightening belts and pasting on electrodes, I resemble a sputnik monkey. Plugged into all this paraphernalia (plus a video camera peering down from the ceiling), Rip Van Winkle would have a hard time sleeping. I manage about 90 minutes.

I feel like I'm in a Twilight Zone episode. Liz sleeps peacefully, while I toss and turn next to her, terrified she'll suddenly go into labor. I have little enough confidence in myself as a labor coach, never mind as a father. I stare at the bedroom ceiling, brain spinning in a maelstrom of responsibility. I worry about dragging Liz down with me. She's the one who really needs the rest. Dream I'm writing in my journal. The writing becomes an enormous wall collage, text embroidered on long ribbons. I'm looking down from the basket of a hot air balloon, ascending. People far below form a shapeless circle of dots in a distant field.

For each, a roll of 35 exposures was taken of various parts of my body, usually in close-up. The roll was processed normally and printed, without alteration or manipulation, as a contact sheet. This work was originally supposed to be enlarged, but, due to one thing or another, it took more than a decade before even a few of them were printed approximately 64x42 inches."
