A DAY TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT ART

1 day performance on a park bench in front of the Art College, York Street, Belfast.

November 1977

---

Performance work described as “interviewing members of the public RE: importance (or otherwise) of art, in their lives”.

‘One of the “days work” performances this work included a great deal of participation from others. MacLennan either sat on a bench talking to people who joined him, and taking notes, or he approached passers by.’
