Their name literally translates as "raving ones". Often the maenads were portrayed as inspired by him into a state of ecstatic frenzy, through a combination of dancing and drunken intoxication. In this state, they would lose all self-control, begin shouting excitedly, engage in uncontrolled sexual behavior, and ritualistically hunt down and tear to pieces animals "” and, in myth at least, sometimes men and children "” devouring the raw flesh.

 Item
Identifier: CC-54359-643247
Scope and Contents Stored in box with Gallery Number Ten publications.Internet: Brian Lane's unique contribution to small-press publishing began in the mid 1960s at Gallery Number Ten in Blackheath, South East London. This was one of the first artists' spaces in Britain, and alongside its programme of exhibitions and events, there emerged a growing list of publications with poets and artists. In the late 1970s Lane issued many of his distilled performances in print and in the mid-1980s he worked extensively on the seminal exhibition The Artist Publisher and accompanying catalogue. Throughout all his work, there is the sense of a printed score to be performed, from the earlier days of experimental music through improvisations on small letterpress printing machines, to the use of photocopier and rubber stamp. This illustrated primer includes an extensive bibliography by John Janssen of all Brian Lane's published works, now held in the Tate Gallery Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...
