ghost presents: With + Stand PDFs

In honor of our second year making the collectively drawn map of the field that is Steve Evans's Attention Span project, this time on our friend and comrade Brian Ang's list; and moreover in honor of and solidarity with the occupy movements and Oakland in particular, we offer an attempt to digitize the non-digital With + Stand, #s 1, 4, and the most recent 5 (for now), in hopes that it will hold the ghost presence of paper on screens as bodies hold the ghost presence of the commons in plazas parks and squares. May your impossible imaginings remain possible, friends.

Find the PDFs here.

Spraypainting party + W+S5 gets props

Dear W+Sers:

I wanted to share these pictures of the epic W+S5 spraypainting party before the W+S5 release party next week, since that will inevitably bring more pictures and I will then forget to share these.

Also, links to Michael Cross's Disinhibitor blog, where he's been reading through W+S5—here and here and here.

Pictures featuring Melissa Mack, Brian Ang, Erica Lewis, Jonathan Robbins, Jesse Hoberman-Kelly, Lauren Levin, Tony Valadez, Aaron Sachs— and not pictured, for some reason, Suzanne Stein.

Also, please note our section on the right of lifetime subscribers to W+S, including information on how you yourself can get a lifetime subscription.

Hugs,,,

Dan
