Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.

Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.

Includes: tamed TV snow, video feedback of racing particles, a remake of a polish photogram film destroyed in WWII, a visual and aural representation of Gestalt theory, hole-punched film and Guy Sherwin’s Cycles 3 double-projection.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
