There are several 2-minute sections in the piece, during which the structure is improvisational. This piece was first performed at Roulette in New York in December of 1999 and more recently in San Francisco, Madrid and at the ICC in Tokyo . For the second piece of the evening, Jarryd and two guests- Brendan Klinger and Sam Laybourne, will be busting out a one-time-only culture-jammer-style gore fest called "Friday the 13th Pt. 666". Jarryd will make some noise while Brendan and Sam will spew forth some retarded rap stylings. Bring your goalie mask. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++ Jarryd Lowder Performance artist. Born 1968, Iowa City, Iowa.
