DENTON WELCHIAN MAIDEN GOYAGE




Received so many emugs concerning the health of Mrs. Michael Glass in Los Angeles. This is the latest info from Jeffreyland Hilbert: Mike was moved to Barlow Respiratory Hospital about 2 weeks ago. He had a tracheotomy and feeding tube installed to help him breath and get nutrition more easily. A group of us met with his doctors last week and Mike's condition varies from day to day. Long-term prognosis is bad. He will probably be a quadriplegic with little movement in head/eyes. Barlow specializes in rehabbing respiratory-challenged patients, getting them to the point where they can breath without aid of artificial means. According to Mike's doctor, Mike is currently at 6 on a scale of 1 - 19. If/when he can reach 19 (breathing on his own) then he will be moved to other facility to live out his days. We are hoping he's eventually able to communicate his wishes - whether he wants to die or continue living.
On a lighter note received this little misive from international art shtar Wu who will be in Berlin shooting a new art film and presenting her magnum opus Wildness

The next evening I gave an extemperaneous artist talk called Beware the Holy Retarded Whore as part of the Erasmus Intensive Program through UDK at the Ulfer Studios in Wedding the same place we rehearsed at for Communist Bigamist back in 2011. The facilitators were my good British pals dashing scholar Martin Hargreave and serene Sophia of the Berlin based artist kollective plan b. I was expecting no more then 20 people and was surprised that there was an attractive horde of 150 plus  young International students from countries like Finland,Iceland, Brazil, Greece, New Zealand, Poland, India and China. My talk was very salon style creating a little living room art directed set with me sitting on a loveseat and the students all sprawled about on floor mats. I encouraged all the lesbians and baby dykes to take off their sports bras and the men to do helicopters with their penises. I was so scattered and crazy I don´t even remember what I talked about and I can´t believe people listened to my nonsence for over 2 hours.
