Edited for the exhibition 'Alberto Greco.

These investigations delve into various moments of Greco's complex and 'deviant' creative path. Complementing these scholarly contributions is a selection of the artist's own writings, encompassing early works like 'Fiesta' (1950) and manifestos such as the 'Gran manifiesto-rollo arte vivo-dito' (1963). The publication is richly illustrated with over two hundred images of his diverse works created between 1949 and 1965.

The content covers his experience with the 'Exposiciones culturales rodantes' (Mobile Cultural Exhibitions) project, where he drove a truck through northern Argentina, as well as his 'vivo-dito' acts in Piedralaves, Ávila, and the Lavapiés metro in Madrid. It also highlights his collages, which he termed 'self-propaganda,' and his novel 'Besos brujos,' written shortly before his death. The text is presented in English.
