Smith/Stewart set up allegorical situations over which they often have little to no control, but which instigate explorations of dependence and trust, the body, sex and death.
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
Do art forms like black radical poetry, free jazz and improvisation create a space for the performance of freedom? Did they ever? And can they still do so now?

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