Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
In a moment of social exhaustion, we want to ask how we might care for each other differently. We Can’t Live Without Our Lives is a 5-day exploration of care as a form of struggle and resistance, with communities who embody it.

Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
