Focusing on the cut-outs and cut-ups of Hans Christian Andersen and William Seward Burroughs, Cut-Outs and Cut-Ups: Hans Christian Andersen and William Seward Burroughs is the first exhibition to compare these legendary writers and fascinating, but little-known, visual artists. Hailing from different origins and different periods, Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) and William Seward Burroughs (1914-1997) nevertheless shared many significant connections. Both were highly productive and revolutionary writers, intrepid travelers and larger-than-life personalities who developed important collaborative relationships. They were visionaries, who had a deep and long engagement with the visual arts.



Though Andersen and Burroughs are known largely for their literary masterpieces, their visual work, has to date received little exposure. Key to the 124 works in this exhibition is the artists’ mutual engagement with cutting-out pictures and stencils which involve silhouettes and shadows. Their use of brilliant colours and metallic surfaces relate closely to their writings. The Andersen material consists of a wide range of drawings, cut-outs and picture books containing his original collages. The Burroughs artworks include paintings on paper and wood, collaborative projects with lifelong friend, the artist Brion Gysin – these include pages for The Third Mind, 1978, as well as their legendary Dreamachine.
Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark, in 1805, the son of a washerwoman and a shoemaker. At the age of 14 he moved to Copenhagen to pursue an acting career. Between 1822 and 1827 he attended the Slagelse and Helsingør Grammer Schools. Throughout his life he wrote a number of plays and travel books inspired by his ongoing travels in Europe, and is best known for his popular fairytales such as The Little Mermaid, The Red Shoes and The Ugly Duckling. The majority of his visual works, including the picture books, date from the 1850s to his death in Copenhagen in 1875. William Seward Burroughs was born in 1914 in St Louis to a wealthy family. He studied at Harvard and travelled to Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Morocco between 1945 and 1950. Appropriating the cut-up technique developed by Gysin in the 1950s, Burroughs produced some of his most influential writings, extending the language first developed in his groundbreaking novel Naked Lunch, 1959. While living in Paris, London, New York and Lawrence, Kansas - where he died in 1997 - Burroughs never stopped experimenting with writing, film, sound and visual art.
The exhibition is curated by Hendel Teicher, independent curator and art historian.
A fully-illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition. Contributors include notable Andersen and Burroughs scholars Jens Andersen, Francine Prose, Raymond Foye and José Ferez Kuri. The catalogue also includes texts by Hans Christian Andersen and William Seward Burroughs, an essay by Hendel Teicher and a foreword by Enrique Juncosa, Director, IMMA.

PERSISTENCE IS ALL-(Monographie sélective Pierre Beloüin~96 p. ill. en coul., 12 x 18cm)IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Persistence is all, première exposition personnelle de l’artiste, est elle aussi placée sous le signe de la référence, plus précisément à Coil, groupe de musique industrielle anglais : sa courte phrase de titre est en effet tirée d’un néon (une sculpture ?) disposé dans le salon de Threshold house, la maison du groupe qu’on peut apercevoir dans un documentaire anglais de 2001, « Hello Culture ». Et c’est aussi le titre d’un live du groupe, en 2000. « Persistence is all », sentence à la fois définitive et mystérieuse, ne signifie peut-être rien d’autre que la nécessité d’être tenace et exigeant, ou plus directement encore, de résister au suicide programmé des objets dans la culture commerciale. Multi-plateforme, plasticien, chef de label, curateur, Pierre Beloüin joue sur tous les fronts de la résistance underground. The exhibition is precisely marked under the symbol of Coil: its short title taken from a neon sign (a sculpture ?) situated in the living room of Threshold house, the home of the group, which we can be seen in the English documentary, Hello Culture (2001). It is also the title of a live by Coil (2000). "Persistence Is All", a phrase which is at the same time precise and mysterious, it might not mean anything more than the need to be tenacious and demanding, or still more directly, to resist the planned suicide of objects in commercial culture.

The Whirling Dervish : Our first review!

http://www.unsignedthemagazine.com/brandnew/theheat.html

Caveat Emptor -The Whirling Dervish

By: Corbyn Bricie

Can't describe this one. And that's a sure sign of dopeness. I don't know what it is or how they do it but The Whirling Dervish have converted me to their brand of rock, er emo, er um punk....geeze I don't know. Definitely socially driven in their song making the drums and guitars fuse together in a wall of song that comes at you in a hectic, aggressive and harmonious barrage of sounds that ebbs and swells in all the unexpected places that make that make their music hard to define but for sure easy to fall for. All of this is punctuated by earnest vocals that exude an intangible energy.

"Beirut and Media Art todayPresentation by Ricardo Mbarkho
In his lecture, Ricardo Mbarkho talks about today's media art scene in Beirut. He also shows a selection of videos where many approaches are tackled to question the identity crisis in today's Lebanese socio-political and cultural sphere. The war on Lebanon since 1975 remains a major concern for the multicultural Lebanese society. Today, Lebanon is witnessing one of its tensest political divisions, and failed to elect a president able to bridge the gap between the current government and the opposition. The impact between the Middle East conflict, the media system and art is raised by Mbarkho from the geographical and the historical angles."

" Beyrouth et l'art des médias aujourd'hui Présentation par Ricardo Mbarkho
Dans sa conférence, Ricardo Mbarkho parle de la scène de l'art utilisant les médias aujourd'hui à Beyrouth. Il montre aussi une sélection de vidéos où plusieurs approches d'artistes questionnent la crise de l'identité dans le Liban aujourd'hui. La guerre sur le Liban depuis 1975 restes une inquiétude majeure pour la société multiculturelle libanaise. Aujourd'hui, le Liban témoigne une de ses divisions politiques les plus tendues, et a manqué de choisir un président capable de remplir le vide entre les progouvernementaux et l'opposition. L'impact entre le conflit au Moyen-Orient, le système médiatique et l'art est soulevé par Mbarkho des angles géographique et historiques. "

Jonathan Leyser : Footage/Photos

Hello friends,

Thanks for your help with the feature-length film "William S. Burroughs: A Man Within." We have wonderful interviews with almost everyone involved in his life. As production nears completion, I am now searching out media to include in the film. I am looking for photographs, audio and video/film footage of William S. Burroughs. If you or someone you know has anything that you could generously let me use in the film, it would be much appreciated.So many of you have helped out.
Thanks all,
See you at the premiere,

Jonathan
