Performance Cleaner

<p>For 25 years the Zap club hosted ground-breaking artistic events in Brighton and beyond starting with its radical music and open-mic nights in the 1980s.<br />For two years in the early days Roy Bayfield (later to become a noted walker mythogeographer performance artist and university administrator) made an art out of his job as cleaner at the club. Here he offers us an “eclectic sweep-up of everything that was left lying around”.<br />On one level it's a memoir for people who knew the Zap club at the time; on another it's a handbook for anyone who wants to make art out of an unpromising job.</p>
