Burroughs?

[Paul Mackin]

I checked the Wiki article and my theory didn't pan out.

I notice that the same paragraph that was in the Germany exhibition 
piece also appeared in a 2005 London one (which is not surprising) 
except the name of Kathy Acker is added to the later one (not surprising 
either). Stuff once on the internet tends to multiply.

Burrough's visual work is impressive, maybe even to someone not totally 
in sync with his writing. (not that the latter is the case)
