Dublin, 1992: 'Brion Gysin: Here To Go'

The Here To Go Show in 1992 Dublin was a commemoration and celebration of the life and work of two of the minds and talents that were honed and refined in the hothouse atmosphere of Tangiers — William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin. The Here to Go Show (so named after one of Gysin's maxim that the only purpose of human life on earth is to get ready to leave it – "we are here to go") even brought the legendary Master Musicians of Joujouka to Dublin to take part in the festivities.

Joe Ambrose and Frank Rynne co-created an ambitious and innovative exhibition and celebration of the works of Brion Gysin and William Burroughs and especially of their intersections and influence on and by the original Interzone of Tangier. They aslo directed a documentary, Destroy all Rational Thought, which captured the event and featured exclusive contributions from William Burroughs, Hamri The Painter of Morocco, Ira Cohen, Hakim Bey, Terry Wilson amongst others.
