Atlantans: join me Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. at Eyedrum for William Burroughs and Brion Gysin in the Beat Hotel. This show will be presented by Andy Ditzler under the guise of Frequent Small Meals.
“Minutes to Go,” a one-night exhibition and screening, celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Naked Lunch by exploring the surprisingly wide range of artistic experiments undertaken by Burroughs and Gysin during their Paris stay. Rare booksand other items from the Danowski Collection at Emory University’s Manuscripts, Archives, and Rare Books Library will be on view. Also featured are the short films The Cut-Ups and Towers Open Fire, two collaborations between Burroughs, Gysin, and filmmaker Antony Balch which encapsulate on film the cut-up technique and its powerful, hallucinatory effects.
