Dear Irene,
Here is a message that might be of interest to Arlis members in North America. The Visual Arts AHDS website is a wealth of image collections.
I won't be at the Atlanta conference this year but hope everyone has a great time.
Best wishes,
Erica Foden-Lenahan

We are pleased to announce that the website of Alastair MacLennan, one of Britain's major practitioners in live art, is now available online via AHDS Visual Arts:
http://www.vads.ahds.ac.uk/collections/maclennan/
Alastair MacLennan is Research Professor in Fine Art at the School of Art and Design, University of Ulster in Belfast. Since 1975 he has been based in Belfast and was a founder member of Belfast's Art and Research Exchange. He is also a member of the European Performance Group called 'Black Market International.'
During the 1970's and 1980's, he made long durational performances in Britain and America, of up to 144 hours each, non-stop, usually neither eating nor sleeping throughout. Subject matter dealt with political, social and cultural malfunction. He currently travels extensively in Eastern and Western Europe, also America and Canada, presenting 'Actuations' (his term for performance/installations).
The Alastair MacLennan website is one of a number of live art resources that have recently been acquired by the AHDS, including the world-class Live Art Archive and Digital Performance Archive. For more information and to access these resources visit:
