Madeline Gins

Dear Stephen,

Your sister, my boss and mentor, but most importantly my friend, was one of the finest people I've ever had the true privilege to know. She is missed. Molly McMahon

My condolences Stephen.

She was one of the finest people I've ever known.

Exactly construct.

I only met Madeline once, when she introduced Arakawa to her parents' group of friends in Island Park, NY. I am 14 years younger than Madeline, so I was maybe 8 or 9 years old at the time, but I do remember she made quite a sensation at the time. And it seems she kept on doing that her whole life, though it seems she did not succeed in her quest for immortality. My condolences to those whom she left behind.

Steve, please accept my condolences on the loss of sweet madeline. The news brought tears to my eyes. Micheal Glicksman

Maddie Gins' parents were part of a group of friends that included my inlaws. A fortunate coincidence for me in the 70s when I was studying with Xenakis and found great joy learning about the artistic creations of Arakawa and Madeline. Seems like there was a big price on this plane that went with the big ideas and adventurous art. Sorry she is gone. Her innovative spirit must be enriching the vast beyond where we are all headed.

Dear Stephen Gins,
I was very fortunate to visit both Nagi's Ryoanji and Yoro Koen several times. They both offered such a profound perspective as if they were designed especially for me. I spent months discussing The Mechanism of Meaning with a student determined to glean each nuance. What a work-out. Before I returned from Japan, I had to make one last pilgrimage to Yoro. I will always be grateful to Ms. Gins. May peace be with you, sir.

I'll miss you,

Dear Stephen Gins,

I met Madeline years ago at a conference in Paris, a meeting preceded by the shock and joy of reading her "transbiography" Helen Keller or Arakawa (which I then endeavored to translate into (blind) French). Her sweet & strong & soft voice still resonates via Skype and telephone lines. It won't die.
With sadness and a sense of unfinished lines, I address you my condolences.

Madeline, Im so glad we got to share sushi before this. Your spirit was inspirational. I will miss you, and you may miss my exactitude. I hope you are continuing somewhere. helen

Dear Stephen: please accept my condolences for the loss of your brilliant and creative sister. I have many fine memories of working with her and Arakawa for over ten years, and she left the world much richer for her poetic, artistic, philosophical and architectural instigations. Please be well, and know she led a good, full life. Best wishes.......

I am so shocked. I saw Madeline at the end of November. I was going to email her because I hadn't seen her over the holidays, because I was sick. We had just begun what I thought would be a close friendship. 'Bye, Madeline, from your neighbors Jane and Michael Usyk.
