Fourth Action

We will be holding the fourth action of the Needs Machine at Bethlem Gallery on Saturday 5th May. The event will take place from 1-5pm, it will be free and is open to all.



For the first two hours, you can drop-in and join us in adapting the structure of the Needs Machine to build a non-hierarchical space. Imagine it as a big craft workshop in which we build a sculpture together.

From 3pm, through an informal conversation, we will reflect upon new ways of thinking about need and aim to question some of the assumptions held by the theory - including that needs are necessarily individual, that survival needs are the most essential, and that we all have the same needs.

Seating will be first come first served for the informal conversation from 3pm-5pm.
