MAY MADELINE GINS, ALEX DUENSING & C. SPENCER YEH Madeline Gins: This exceedingly troubling figure has provided our benighted species with a new option for how to live life on this planet—not bad for someone who first stepped forth as a p-p-p-poet. Intent on achieving [a] reversible destiny for our up-against-it species, she ever pits ‘despitefulness’ against poignancy no matter how touching. Is there any discourse she has not entered?? According to the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Physics, the version of Alex Duensing that you meet may have successfully utilized a combination of politics, theater and poetry to create anti-time, bodily free-energy and a Gordian Knot-Type solution to all Zen koans. You may also encounter him as pure money or as a mechanical dog. C. Spencer Yeh is recognized for his interdisciplinary activities and collaborations as an artist, composer and improviser. Recent recorded works include Ambient (with Robert Piotrowicz), 1975 and CS Yeh’s Transitions. Yeh also volunteers as a movie trailer editor for Spectacle Theater in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
