Ashtend Astartle In June Night / Basinski, Michael., 2002

 Item
Identifier: CC-40248-42219
Scope and Contents

Marvin Sackner heard Basinski perform this poem at a symposium held in conjunction with the exhibition, "An American Avant Garde: Second Wave" at Ohio State University in 2002. Basinski read from the poem and commented on the images while turning the drawing side to side and upside down. After he completed this very droll performance, Sackner came up from the audience to ask him if he had ever recorded it. Basinski replied "no, because it is never the same each time that I do it." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
