PERFORMANCE FOR THE ALMOST FREE ART SHOW

Incremental performance made as part of the Almost Free Art Show.

February 1978

---

This performance was enacted outside of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Gallery, Belfast, for periods of 3 hours at a time – twice during daylight and twice during the night.

‘Standing in the black bin, MacLennan’s contribution to The Almost Free Art Exhibition returned to the main themes of his art production: the need for art, alternative ways of making it, and the social function of art, ie how it can be critical of itself and of society.’

Text from ‘Alastair MacLennan: Is No’, ed. Stephen Snoddy, 1988.
