Power Learned from Paul: On Paul Wellstone’s Radical Pedagogy
Please join us at Beyond Repair at 12 PM on Saturday, October 1, 2016, for a release event featuring the Wooden Leg Press reprint of Dan S. Wang’s memoir-essay about Paul Wellstone.
The text was originally written as a letter to a friend, an attempt to describe what he had learned from Paul Wellstone in the classroom. It turned into an essay about political power, political science as experimentation, and the expansive vision of political action that Paul Wellstone embodied.
What did you learn from Paul Wellstone? Were you a student of his? Did you work in his office or for his campaign? Did you know him only through the media? Were you too young to remember much about him?
Join artist, writer, printer, and former student of Paul Wellstone’s, Dan S. Wang for a low key afternoon of conversations of political education in general, and Wang’s in specific as it regards to his understand of Wellstone’s teaching.

Well, this is a compelling turn of events. Nice outerwear.
Some good advice regarding politics and other forces of nature…
“The writing on the wall / isn’t writing at all / just forces of nature / all in love with the weather station”
Mark’s costumes are really coming along nicely.
Make, make, make. Work, work, work.
Mark has taken up the call to pass through the shop wearing a costume made entirely from items found around the bar at Eastlake. Who knows what the future will hold.

Drummer’s coming to town!! We’re so excited to be hosting a performance on the Greenway with our old friend, Lisa Schonberg and her new duo – with Anthony Brisson – Coordination.
They’re written out a percussion score, which they’ll perform on the Greenway. The printed score will be available at the shop.
Here’s some info on them…
Coordination is the Portland-based duo of Anthony Brisson (Psychomagic) and Lisa Schonberg (Secret Drum Band, Kickball). Together they craft performances that include aspects of noise, improvisation, and pop, using synthesizers, guitars, samples and drums.
For this performance, they drafted a graphic score based on the motions and emotions of a day of work, and then composed the music accordingly. Beyond Repair will be printing these scores, which will be available at the performance.

Hey! Look who stopped in for a visit, Katie Bachler and Scott Berzofsky!!
