Bøger af ALEJANDRO MAGALLANES

Polygons, corncobs and geometric patterns make up a world of imaginary figuresDuring the coronavirus lockdown, Mexican artist Alejandro Magallanes (born 1971) compensated for the lack of social contact by creating fantastical people in a notebook. He then invited poet Tedi López Mills (born 1959) to give his characters her personal attention. This book is the result.

Un libro sobre libros y letras y palabras.Ya que usted me ha preguntado de que se trata este libro, yo debo contestarle con toda puntualidad: Este libro es un parque de diversiones. Una galería que no exhibe sus cuadros enmarcados y colgados de las paredes, sino impresos y encuadernados, dispuestos a aplaudirle a la menor provocación. Un bestiario de dibujos y sonidos. Es un Koan en muchos actos. Una carta de amor a los libros y a sus creadores. Una colección de ensayos que hablan sobre los carteles, los libros para niños y niñas, el dibujo, el diseño y el concepto mismo de autoría. Es un libro de experimentos filosóficos para chicos, grandes y medianos también. No le digo que este libro no es una pipa; mejor pase y compruébelo usted mismo.   En una de esas.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA book about books and words.This is a book of philosophical experiments. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. How are you? What day is it today? What time is it? Thank you for reading this at this exact moment. Imagine (if you may) that you are reading these letters, which are drawings.   Ten years ago, where were you? Do you remember? What kind of music did you like then? Momentarily bring to memory your face, focused while reading this.   Come back to the present and flip through this book without looking. Stop at a random page. You will find letters and drawings that are trying to tell you something, but have not been able to do so, locked up in a book. Now (please) picture yourself ten years from now, finding the book for the first time, and on this occasion is tells you something different. Etcetera.
