The Burroughs Century at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN on February 5th to February 9th, 2014 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of William S. Burroughs at his birthplace of Bloomington, IN. Print signed and numbered by Steve Walters with a run of 50. Measures 18x24.
The Burroughs Century is a 5-day festival that will be held in Bloomington, Indiana from February 5-9 to celebrate the 100th birthday of legendary artist and writer William S. Burroughs. Plans include a film festival featuring works made with or about Burroughs, an exhibit of Burrough’s literary archives, an exhibit of Burroughs’s paintings, musical performances, staged readings, and a costume ball. The celebration will culminate in a two-day symposium featuring scholars, artists, critics, and musicians who will discuss Burroughs, his work, and its influence on American culture and beyond. Conference organizers are seeking novel work devoted to Burroughs’s multi-faceted career as it extends from his early reporting at the St. Louis Post Dispatch to his late shotgun paintings, both in the States and abroad, and across media from print to paint to film and music. We are open to a number of different presentational styles, including papers, readings, performances, and panel discussions. Topics could include, but are in no ways limited to, the following:
- Burroughs and the Beat Generation
- The Cut-up Method
- Burroughs and Sexuality
- Burroughs and Drug Culture/Addiction Studies
- Burroughs in New York
- The Artist Abroad (South America, Tangiers, Paris, London, etc.)
- Burroughs and Science Fiction
- Burroughs The Actor/The Celebrity
- The Art of Collaboration
- Burroughs and Politics
- Burroughs and Technology/Cyberculture
- Burroughs the Painter
