Brion Gysin’s Stanley knife at the @museedartmoder Brion Gysin’s Stanley knife at the @museedartmodernedeparis 

🔪 If knives could talk… 

The “origin story”

It’s said that, in the 1950s, the artist Brion Gysin was using layers of newspapers as a mat to protect a tabletop from being scratched while he cut other papers with a razor blade.

Gysin: “… I had a number of sheets of newspaper, and I took a Stanley blade and cut through them, and little bits and pieces looked so amusing to me that I started jiggling them around as one would in a collage.” Gysin had accidentally rediscovered the cut-up method, a technique that can be traced back to at least the Dadaists of the 1920s.

Gysin then introduced his friend, the author William Burroughs to the technique at the Beat Hotel.
