Madeline Gins	Madeline Gins holds a radical degree in poetry from the unrelenting universe. Mostly her poetry doesn't look like poetry at all; occasionally, as in this instance, it straightens its tie or straightens up and flies wrong. Having begun in the early 1960's to use art to investigate the tendencies in human behavior that are constitutive of thought, Gins, together with her uncompromisingly radical partner, the twenty-ninth century artist Arakawa, can be counted a pioneer of cognitive science - but with the inquiry originating from the artist's end of things. In 1997, the Guggenheim Museum Soho mounted a show of their combined work, both The Mechanism of Meaning, the research project that is the forerunner of cognitive science and contemporary autopoiesis alike, and the architectural projects which grew out of the early research; this exhibition, titled Reversible Destiny, won the College Art Association's Exhibition of the Year award for that year.
