Fabrikzeitung #264: Cut-Up

Burroughs, Gysin & the cut-up Project
Modes of Practice Edition #1
Fabrikzeitung September 2010

The September 2010 edition of Fabrikzeitung Zürich launches a new cycle of special issues devoted to modes of artistic practice. The first issue in this series deals with the cut-up project as an experimental practice linking literature and the visual arts. The articles focus on William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin as the first practitioners of cut-up, the historical conditions of its (re-)discovery, but also on the relationship between the artistic method and the collaborative aspects of production, publishing, and distribution.
