To accompany the exhibition William S. Burroughs: Can you all hear me? October Gallery will present several events throughout January, commencing with Minutes to go and years apart - readings and conversation with Liliane Lijn and Tony White.
   
Liliane Lijn met William S. Burroughs at the now legendary Beat Hotel when they were each exhibiting in Paris in the early 1960s, while author Tony White encountered Burroughs’ work as a teenage art student in the early 1980s. These encounters are still being traced and articulated in each of their works.
     
Join artist and author for conversation and readings including an excerpt from Lijn’s epic feminist prose poem Crossing Map, and White’s ‘A Porky Prime Cut’ which will be performed with live musical accompaniment from UK acid house pioneer and former Psychic TV collaborator Richard Norris.
