Evidence

The curation is evident as is the connoisseurship. The most significant talisman is the brand new first (and only) issue of Ira Cohen’s little magazine Gnaoua, whose contributors included William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Brian Gysin, Michael McClure, Marc Schleifer, and Irving Rosenthal (as J. Sheeper), and which included a five-photograph set titled “Superstars of Cinemaroc,” by Jack Smith. — J. Hoberman, Everything Is Now, 661
