Artist’s book festival: Como Pedro por mi casa Festival
When the passion for artist’s books is the point of union between two projects, the magic is printed directly on the paper. Because those of us who publish or work with the book as an artistic support are a kind of tribe, who recognise each other and become aware of the common desire for this material and its publishing possibilities, almost immediately. After the meeting, we just want to open the pages so that the magic expands. This is the illusion that has led Julia Pelletier and Laura González Palacios to join forces to present in Chiquita Room the twelfth edition of the artist book festival Como Pedro por mi casa. An event that bets on the domestic character of the book as an alternative staging to show works that would otherwise be confined to museum showcases.
