The beat generation

PARIS - Sex, drugs, and insanity (Burroughs who killed his wife while playing William Tell), as well as art, politics and a lot of literature. The beatnik movement, embodied by Ginsberg, Kerouac, Ferlinghetti and others, left a lasting trace as a symbol of protest and contributed to model Western society in the Sixties. A retrospective led by Jean-Jacques Lebel, who personally knew most of the icons –now gone- , and who was a pope of happenings himself.
Beat Generation at Centre Pompidou, from 22 June to 3 October 2016.
