Fair Use Rationale for George Maciunas

 * 1) This is a significant performance that could not be conveyed in words.
 * 2) It is an important example of the public performance of an event-score mentioned in the article, and, whilst seminal, remains elusive and much misunderstood within the limited publications dealing with fluxus.
 * 3) It is important to attempt to convey in images an outline of Maciunas extraordinary range and versatility as an artist.
 * 4) The very nature of performance art is transitory, and therefore to compile a dictionary of modern art, reliance upon visual, copyrighted photos, is unavoidable to explain the nature of the piece accurately.
 * 5) It illustrates one of Maciunas' most compelling characteristics, that of delighting in disrupting traditional expectations and roles.
 * 6) There is no alternative, public domain or free-copyrighted replacement available.
 * 7) Inclusion is for information, education and analysis only.
 * 8) Its inclusion in the article(s) adds significantly to the article(s) because it shows the subject, or the work of the subject, of the article(s).
 * 9) The image is a low resolution copy of the original work of such low quality that it would be unlikely to impact sales of the work.
