It delves into his practice of transforming the public display of his life into aesthetic invention, covering his early painting, actions, and collages.
Edited for the exhibition 'Alberto Greco. Viva el arte vivo,' this publication offers a comprehensive overview of the singular artistic trajectory of Argentinian creator Alberto Greco (Buenos Aires, 1931-Barcelona, 1965). Greco famously used the public exhibition of his own life as a space for aesthetic invention. The catalogue features three essays, including one by the exhibition's curator, Fernando Davis, who also authored the book's introduction. These essays explore various stages of Greco's complex and "deviant" creative path. The publication also includes a selection of the artist's own texts, such as early works like 'Fiesta' (1950) and manifestos like 'Gran manifiesto-rollo arte vivo-dito' (1963), alongside over two hundred images of his diverse works created between 1949 and 1965. The book captures a broad and detailed panorama of Greco's short but intense artistic program, encompassing his informalist painting, his 'actions and objets vivants,' his 'Exposiciones culturales rodantes' (mobile exhibitions in a truck across northern Argentina), his 'vivo-dito' actions in Piedralaves (Ávila) and the Lavapiés metro station in Madrid, his "self-propaganda" collages, and his novel 'Besos brujos,' written shortly before his death.
