ABOUT CANCER LEAGUE FOR CHILDREN
Children and Cancer
Each year, nearly 220
children
are
diagnosed
with cancer in Switzerland.
The
consequences
are
brutal. Not only is the child
constantly in hospital for
painful treatments, which
can have serious side
effects, but their parents
and family will also bear a
heavy burden. Life needs to
go on for the other family
members, but how? Caring
for a very sick child is allconsuming, but what are
the financial consequences
of a parent who is not working, what about the other siblings that need to
be taken care of? The adjustment is huge for the whole family.
The impact is equally severe for children if cancer strikes a parent.
Understandably and out of necessity, the child’s needs will be relegated to
the needs of the patient/parent. They have seen a loved one in pain, their
world has collapsed and their daily routine totally disrupted. At any age,
feelings of fear and anger, guilt and sadness are difficult to deal with but
for a child, it can have devastating consequences and lead to psychological
problems later in life.
The Cancer League for Children
The Swiss Cancer League provides advice and assistance both for children
with cancer and for children whose father or mother is affected. It funds
research to improve cancer treatments for children and educates families
in cancer prevention, such as in protecting your child from smoking and
ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Psychosocial and Psycho-Oncological Support
Cantonal cancer leagues provide support for parents of sick children. They
show them not only how to help their child cope with the disease but also
how to organize their lives and how to continue the child’s education despite
the cancer. Some cantonal league professionals may accompany the afflicted
child during treatment and convalescence. Some cantonal leagues also
have specialist clinics for the children with pediatric specialists in psychooncology, who work directly with young patients or help those children with
an afflicted parent, helping them to deal with their emotions. Not all cantonal
cancer leagues offer the same services. The extent and nature of the services
depend largely on the financial resources of the organization. To continue to
provide the very best overall support for these afflicted children, we urgently
need more funds.
Social and Financial Support for Families
Cancer can cause difficulties in both social and financial aspects, for example
when a parent has to stop working to care for the sick child. Cantonal leagues
can provide support by organizing and funding childcare or transport to the
hospital or even by engaging a housekeeper.
Activity Weeks
Children who have a family member with
cancer often have the feeling that they have
been left to fend for themselves and to face
their fears and concerns alone. Spending
time with other children who are going
through the same trauma can be a valuable
experience. The Swiss Cancer League offers
them activity weeks in which they can relax
a little and make friends.
Research Funding
The Swiss Cancer League funds patient-oriented research projects that aim
to help sick children. Some are designed to improve treatments; others focus
on the psychosocial consequences of childhood cancer. Leukemia, one of the
most common childhood cancers, is the subject of special attention.
Cancer Prevention
The Swiss Cancer League is very active in promoting cancer prevention,
highlighting the dangers of both passive and active smoking, making
recommendations on a healthy diet and disseminating information on how
to protect your child from harmful ultraviolet radiation. The League has
developed teaching materials designed to help young parents and expectant
fathers and mothers understand the dangers of smoking on the child’s health.

Charlie Winston
“It’s near impossible for me to write in one
style only,” says Charlie. “And today in my
generation of songwriting, there’s a bit of a
lack for me. People have forgotten the power
of song, since the technology swept through,
and how it carries. Coming from parents who
are songwriters, that’s my No. 1 thing, really.”
Running Still - Winston’s third album released
in 2011, following Hobo in 2009 and his 2006
debut Make Way - is the album to which his
whole life has been leading. Winston was
raised by his parents in their small East Anglia
hotel, which he describes as “Fawlty Towers, but with a family” -- with two
bars and a ballroom, hosting a constant stream of musical, theatrical and
comedy performers. He says he was the “cheerful” one of the four children,
responding to his father’s coercion to entertain.
“He bribed me to learn how to juggle and ride unicycles and all that at eight
years old!,” he says. “My brothers Tom and Jo had their own band, so I was
watching them do their thing. At 10 years old both my sister and I got piano
lessons and my musical world started to be developed.”
His teenage dream was to be an actor, but music pulled at him, with a focus
on writing - precociously, his first band, when he was 15, boasting a brass
section as his love for all sorts of jazz intensified, complementing a pre-teen
obsession with hip-hop, through which he learned to beat-box, as heard on
“Speak to Me”, “Wild Ones” and “Hello Alone”.
“I like to keep that element that sounds personal and intimate. If something’s
produced by the body, it’s immediately more intimate.”
At 16 he followed brother Tom to music studies in London amid a vast array
of students, he being the youngest. The oldest? “An old Jamaican guy, 72,
who was a terrible trumpeter!” he says. “For me it was like home, used to odd
characters around the hotel. My complete goal at the time was to become
the best jazz pianist in the world, which is a little high. But nonetheless, good
to have that focus.”
Ambition, then, was not a deficit. The campus also sported a dance school
and Winston made contacts there and wrote music for some programs. He
also, not much later, wrote a “little trio piece” for the London Symphony and
“realized my calling was in composition as opposed to improvisation. That
became everything to me.”
Next came a three-year stint in Baxter, the band fronted by his brother Tom
Baxter (Charlie, Tom and sister Vashti Anna all use their middle names as
stage names), learning the ropes of the pop life. Approaching 21, though, he
needed a break and traveled to India for a month alone, returning to London
to concentrate on writing music for theater, but quickly sliding in to the dual
role of performing music as well as composing for stage productions before
his brother recruited him back, this time often giving Charlie the opening
slots on his shows. It was while recording Baxter sessions at Real World
Studios that Winston met Peter Gabriel and a bond formed. A publishing
deal allowed Winston to record Make Way.
The somewhat vagabondish life he’d been leading inspired “Like a Hobo,” and
though he decided not to include it on the debut, it became a regular part of
shows and grabbed hold of fans‘ imaginations. The song debuted at numberone in France on 11 April 2011 and stayed for eleven weeks in the top five.
“The song seemed to generate this persona for me in people’s minds,” he
says. “People would say, ‘How’s your hobo life.‘ I’m not really a hobo! It’s like
a hobo, but it was about my core values. Thinking about things my parents
told me that I keep close to my heart. Important not to put material values at
the top of my list. Having few possessions was important to me, as a means
for keeping loved ones closer.”
At that time a girlfriend prodded him to get out of London, travel more. So he
busked his way around Europe, getting gigs where he could, making friends
along the way, ultimately landing in Paris, and everything came together: He
fell in with drummer Medi (a singer-songwriter in his own right, with a Bergproduced album released in 2011) as well as a manager and label who took
a very active role in building up his name. Even a month before his second
album was released, he was startled to be recognized by two girls while
waiting to get on a Eurostar train. When Hobo was released, it all took off.
After the whirlwind of travel and performing that followed, those around him
suggested he take a break.
“But I’d heard of too many artists on their second album being stuck after a
hit record, and I didn’t want to be in that position,” he says.
Following up the breakthrough of his 2009 album, Hobo, a No. 1 smash in
France and a huge hit throughout Europe and Canada, Running Still finds
Winston and his richly talented band, the Oxymorons, in collaboration with
producer Tony Berg (Michael Penn, Aimee Mann, Bruce Hornsby, Ozomatli)
to reach new emotional and sonic colors.
“My sole objective on the album was to be able to engage people’s feet first
and slowly rise to the mind,” he says. “So by the time they get absorbed in
the lyrics, they’re fully engaged but realize there’s something more going on.”
Charlie is working on his next album currently, with a release date in the
autumn of 2014.

BIOGRAPHIES

Stéphane Kropf
Cordium is delighted
to support the
100 Women in Hedge Funds
2014 Geneva Gala,
benefiting
The Swiss Cancer League
Stéphane Kropf is known for his large-format, abstract canvases that investigate
the pure sensuality of painting. His newest works will be a continuation
of his “Situated Knowledge” series. In this body of work, Kropf employs
interference paint, which is capable of reflecting both an individual color and
its complementary hue, depending on the setting and the spectator’s position.
This highly technical pigment has no inherent color of its own, and as Kropf
notes, looking at one of his paintings from the side “is almost like seeing an
unprimed canvas.” The assertion that a work of art is defined by its context
and the perspective of its viewer—a legacy of conceptual art—is integral to
Kropf’s work; it also addresses the cultural practices surrounding how a painting
is produced, exhibited, and photographed. Kropf’s work stubbornly resists
photography: it is nearly impossible to communicate its appearance on film.
The series title “Situated Knowledge” is derived from an essay by the
American feminist scientist Donna Haraway, who tries to define a specifically
feminist scientific perspective, and notes that the human brain privileges
sight above all other senses, lending a sense of validation to any facts that
can be perceived by sight. However, the appearance and meaning of Kropf’s
paintings is entirely dependent on factors outside of his control: conditions
of ambient light, time of day, and the viewer’s movement and “situated”
point of view. This deliberate openness to chance and context is in the spirit
of minimalist works like Robert Morris’s Mirror Cubes. Yet despite his many
references to the history of art, Kropf also spreads his paint “like pastry” with
an unassuming delight in the richness of his material. He emphasizes the
pliable nature of the paint, spreading it across the canvas in a thick impasto
of dynamic, ethereal scrolls. With their large scale, visual transformations,
and conceptual foundation, Kropf’s paintings engage and challenge the
viewer intellectually, physically and optically.
Born in 1979 in Lausanne, Switzerland, Stéphane Kropf studied at the Ecole
Cantonal d’Art de Lausanne, where he is currently Head of the Department
of Visual Arts. His work has been exhibited at Musée d’art moderne et
contemporain (MAMCO), Geneva; Galerie Am Lindenplatz, Vaduz; The
Bathroom, Lyon; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; and the Fondation d’Entreprise
Ricard, Paris. Current solo exhibitions include Kropf’s first exhibition in the
United States The Art of Looking Sideways, at Marc Jancou Gallery in New
York , Double Crème, Château de Gruyères, and a yet-to-be-titled exhibition
at Galerie Andrea Caratsch, Zurich, in December 2014.
