Sex, Drugs and Institutions (PAL)

From the Palais de Tokyo "The Third Mind" announcement of performances:

LES JEUDIS

Impossible to explain an exhibition that refuses to be explained, to repeat the words of Ugo Rondinone, even if everything obliges us to do so, to repeat those of Samuel Beckett* - as much the wish to understand as the duty to communicate understanding. But we can at least try to remain firmly within the absence of explanation. We can make an effort to inhabit the fact of being stunned, or stoned. Drugs, altered states of consciousness, and rather abrupt landings after trips… Precisely, the Beat Generation, conjured up through the emblematic figures of Brion Gysin and William S. Burroughs by Ugo Rondinone, is inseparable from such an experience. In the programme of cultural events that accompanies The Third Mind and the documents and educational activities offered to the public we have attempted to provide visitors with guidance to the country of highs and lows, on a journey taking them from cut-ups to bad trips, from psychedelism to paranoia, from visions to nightmares, from astral bodies to the "international conspiracy of lies" (Burroughs), in short, from the utopian Sixties to the darker Noughties.
