The New Museum presents “Brion Gysin: Dream Machine,” the first US retrospective of the work of the painter, performer, poet, and writer Brion Gysin (born 1916, Taplow, UK–died 1986, Paris). Working simultaneously in a variety of mediums, Gysin was an irrepressible inventor, serial collaborator, and subversive spirit whose considerable innovations continue to influence musicians and writers, as well as visual and new media artists today. The exhibition will include over 300 drawings, books, paintings, photo-collages, films, slide projections, and sound works, as well as an original Dreamachine—a kinetic light sculpture that utilizes the flicker effect to induce visions when experienced with closed eyes. “Brion Gysin: Dream Machine” is curated by Laura Hoptman, Kraus Family Senior Curator, and will be on view in the New Museum’s second floor gallery.http://www.newmuseum.org/exhibitions/422/brion_gysin_dream_machine
The Rolling Stones were also in Gysin’s orbit; the artist is said to have introduced Moroccan Joujouka, a type of music said to have healing properties, to guitarist Brian Jones. http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/07/14/brion-gysin-inspiration-to-stones-david-bowie-gets-first-us-retrospective/However, Regina Weinreich while praising the show notes that Gysin's Moroccan period is under represented http://www.huffingtonpost.com/regina-weinreich/brion-gysins-flickering-l_b_646195.html.

Credo che per avere un quadro preciso e dettagliato delle vicissitudini musicali che interessano un villaggio di circa settecento abitanti del nord Africa, Joujouka, basta leggere questo pezzo di Jace Clayton.
Sono appena tornato dal Marocco, dove, anch'io, dopo circa mezzo secolo di pellegrinaggio occidentale, ho assistito alle live session dei Master Musicians of Joujouka; il festival è organizzato dall'irlandese Frank Rynne, che dopo il 2008 - quarantesimo anniversario della prima registrazione dei master ad opera di Brian Jones, Rolling Stones - organizza ogni anno il festival al costo di 300 €, inclusi alloggio nelle abitazioni dei musicisti e vitto a base di pietanze sufi.
