Brian Lobel also facilitated and executed four ACTIONS by two different patient participants, Laura and Tansy. These four ACTIONS were documented by Christa Holka and transformed into discreet art objects which comprise 4 of the eventual 18 objects which will make up Fun With Cancer Patients. During the Research & Development phase, Dr. Gessler and Dr. Lancely were also brought on board as advisors to the project, responsible for contextualising the ACTIONS and evaluating the project for its medical and psychosocial relevance.
