About The Work
In this humorous and self-referential Benefit Drawing #4, created for Glasgow International, installation and performance artist Michael Smith details the “benefits” of purchasing a benefit drawing. Smith’s large-scale narrative videos, performances and installations draw from a variety of popular formats—sitcoms, music videos, and talk shows, as well as comedy acts, puppet shows, and birthday parties, the last of which is clearly referenced in this playful print.
