Cut-ups, Cut-ins, Cut-outs: The Art of William S. Burroughs
The visionary author and artist William S. Burroughs has been admired by generations as a revolutionary intellectual with a radical popular image. He established a new form of writing: the cut-up method - whereby text and image fragments are intuitively pieced together to form open associative narrative structures in order to expand the boundaries of language and describe human consciousness. He extended this method into the visual arts and the cut-ups in their various forms are the focus of a new exhibition at the Kunsthalle Wien. Cut-ups, Cut-ins, Cut-outs: The Art of William S. Burroughs will be on view until October 21, at the Kunsthalle Wien, Museumsplatz 1,1070 Wien, Austria
