Try combinatory play with books. | Pablo Helguera | The Art Assignment

The video discusses a traveling Spanish-language bookstore created by Pablo Helguera, which serves as a community third place. Helguera shares his creative process of translating a Norwegian book without knowing the language, turning it into a poetic project. The video introduces an assignment called 'Combinatory Play,' where participants combine lines from different plays to create a new piece. Historical references to Einstein and Leibnitz highlight the concept of combinatory play as a creative and intellectual exercise.
