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. From briongysin.com
