NOTES

1949 Schenectady NY – 2010 Providence RI

I like(d) Michael and his work a lot, enjoyed the too few times we spent together and always looked forward to seeing him again. All that comes to mind this dark autumn pre-dawn is an image of some Dennis Oppenheim piece I saw with Ted Greenwald in the early 1970s: a puppet that at regular intervals would smash its metal head against a bell. Arrivederti!
