A new 12-hour durational performance work by Alastair MacLennan commissioned by Granary especially for Bodily Functions.

"A primary function of Art is to bridge our spiritual and physical worlds. Through crass materialism we have reduced Art to cultural real estate. Actual creativity can be neither bought nor sold, through its husks, shells and skins often are. It is possible in Art to use metal systems without over-reliance on physical residue and attendant marketplace hustling, jockeying and squabblings. Art is the demonstrated wish and will to resolve conflict through action, be it spiritual, religious, political, personal, social or cultural. To heal is to make whole. As well as ecology of natural environment, there is ecology of mind and spirit. Each is a layer of the other, interfused, three in one. The challenge for us today is to live this integration. Already we are late. Time we have is not so vital as time we make."
