La aventura de lo real

About this book

Artist Alberto Greco would take to the streets with a chalk and circle situations, objects and people around. He would sign his "Vivos Ditos" (Alive Ditos) on the floor, on the walls, teaching us to see what surrounds us, the living, what to see and so it is worth changing if necessary. Greco will say in a kind of small manifesto: "Living art is the adventure of the real." The book comprises letters, tangos, postcards and manuscripts full of hallucinations and street poetics. A collection of experimental texts and poetry organized in this book in four major sections. "A large part of the texts were transcribed directly from the original manuscript sources. In a smaller number, from texts typed by Greco himself (many of which were corrected by his own hand). The less, represent those taken of already existing transcriptions from his papers (in which case we have always indicated its origin)." (HKB Translation) --Page [315]
