In September, Ghost Proposal bought a water truck to deliver clean water to people in Gaza. It cost $400 and provided water to a neighborhood for about a day.
We’d like to buy another water truck (or more than one). If you can help us fund it, please donate at ghostproposal.com/water (clickable link in bio).
Marina Blitshteyn’s chapbook, Kaddish //, launches today! Order from the Ghost Proposal website. Limited run of 100, printed and assembled in Northampton, MA.
Marina Blitshteyn’s new chapbook, Kaddish //, is available for preorder now on the Ghost Proposal site! Kaddish // is a diagram of diagrams, a map of the functions of lines: lines of measurement, lines of boundary, lines of scent, lines of verse. In conversation with Luis Camnitzer’s artwork Two Parallel Lines, Kaddish // asks questions of lines: what separates a mark from an imaginary mark? What happens when a static point becomes unfixed? Book ships October 1.
