<div id="about">
<p>The New Museum presents “<a href="http://www.newmuseum.org/exhibitions/422">Brion Gysin: Dream Machine</a>,” the first US retrospective of the work of the painter, performer, poet, and writer Brion Gysin (born 1916, Taplow, UK–died 1986, Paris). In 1959, Gysin created the Cut-Up Method, in which words and phrases were literally cut up into pieces and then rearranged to untether them from their received meanings and reveal new ones. His Cut-Up experiments, which he shared with his lifelong friend and collaborator William S. Burroughs, culminated in Burroughs and Gysin’s <em>The Third Mind</em>, a book-length collage manifesto on the Cut-Up Method and its uses. </p>
