The project The Book to Come is developed as part of Corpus, network for performance practice, in collaboration with book designer Filiep Tacq between 2015 and 2017. It is based on five books by Marcel Broodthaers, which the artist conceived as autonomous artworks, and aims to explore the book as a living entity. A book is made up of printed sheets of paper bound into a volume, and is a stable object, not inert matter; something living, a place for producing lived experience. It holds spaces, times and movements waiting to be activated.
Two sessions moderated by members of the reading group were organized between April 2015 and February 2017, and a further eleven sessions were directed by Filiep Tacq, Mónica Carballas, Discoteca Flaming Star, Isidoro Valcárcel Medina, Menchu Gutiérrez, Karl Larsson, Olivier Foulon, Oriol Vilanova, Esperanza Collado, Pedro G. Romero and Amaia Urra.
Each guest was asked to dialogue with one or more of the five chosen books by Marcel Broodthaers.
