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

Paul Sharits one of the great experimental, sometimes called structuralist / materialist, filmmakers of the 20th Century.

A performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition, in which Denise and Valentina use un-reasonable tools to map out a hybrid poetical/ ethical reading of their own situations.
