GREGORY STEPHENSON
DESCRIPTION
Tangier. Déya. Dieppe. Paris. Copenhagen. Chasing the fading contours of the past. Pursuing points of intersection. Encounters with aging literary figures and surviving witnesses to history. Excavating printed artifacts in the back rooms of used book shops. Locating lingering traces: a bullet hole, a logo, graffiti, items of equipment lost or discarded.
Conversations with Paul Bowles & Mohammed Mrabet, Brion Gysin, “Pauline Réage,” Robert Graves, Maurice Girodias, Berthe Cleyrergue, Edouard Roditi, Allen Ginsberg & Peter Orlovsky.
