| 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. |

Nura Petrov
is a conceptual artist and maker of abstract idea-prone objects
constructed of sticks, stones, strings, and cloth. She is a graduate
of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University
of Pennsylvania where she majored in anthropology. While a student
in Philadelphia, she had ample time to get to know the Arensberg
collection, and in 1962 when Duchamp was a visiting lecturer at
the Academy, he gave her a positive critique of her work. An interesting
discussion of dada art and the making of exhibitions was generated
by her questions during the post lecture Q + A session.
She participated in the Happy Birthday Marcel celebration
in 1987 with a handmade book referring to both "string theory"
and Duchamp's string installation at Art of This Century. Her
interest in Duchamp and Duchamp studies continues to be a foundation
stone of her art and a thread in the fabric of her current art
works, samples of which can be seen on www.conceptualist.com
