Press release from the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris for a free three-night performance in memory of Brion Gysin, who had died five months prior. This was organized by Marie-Odile Briot, conservator at the museum. These performances occurred in the Grand Auditorium of the museum on December 17, 18, and 19, 1986. 

The first night's performance was "Somebody Special" – a performance of the songs of Brion Gysin by the Steve Lacy Sextet (Steve Lacy, Irène Aebi, Steve Potts, Bobby Few, Jean-Jacques Avenel, and Oliver Johnson).

The second night's performance was "Cut-ups" – texts by Brion Gysin with mixed images presented by Steve Lacy, Pierre Joris, Jason Weiss, Irène Aebi, Oliver Johnson, and Steve Potts.

The third night's performance was "Soufflé" – a "Japan-ing for Brion Gysin", a performance for three with Yukio Imamura, Steve Lacy and Shiro Daimon.

Along with the press release is what clearly is the typewritten page used for the release, likely given by Marie-Odile Briot to Roger Knoebber.
