Bureau *for* Listening, Proposals for the Struer Tracks Almanac

We propose to hold the Almanac as if a newborn body; support its weight and structure gently, and listen attentively for all its strange sounds.
We propose not to think of the Almanac as an object only, but rather as a complex space-time being temporarily taking on a paper-ish life form.
We propose a concert consisting of leafing through the Almanac one page at a time. The sound of the leafing should be amplified and hosted in a large room. The concert can easily be expanded to a series of different performers taking on the task of leafing through the Almanac, as no leafing can be reproduced. If possible, perform the concert in darkness.
We propose to switch out all the Bibles in the churches in and around Struer with the Almanac. We propose to trust the priests’ abilities to preach and offer spiritual guidance through the Almanac.
We propose to write secrets in the margins of the Almanac.
We propose to read aloud from the Almanac to a loved one, a hated one, to another while standing in sea, to one often alone, one with different political convictions, one that whistles great, to one’s ancestors and future self, to one that gives good advice, one that dislikes communal practices.
We propose to bury a copy of the Almanac and observe its decomposition. We propose to actively invite fungi, worms, and time to collaborate in its transformation.
We propose a study group solely dedicated to material included in the Almanac. This group should commit to meeting once every second year and report to the group how the material of the Almanac speaks to them differently since the last study group meeting.
We propose taking seriously what other books you want to stand/lay next to the Almanac—which will be a good match? Please don’t underestimate the Almanac’s ability to corrupt other books.
We propose exchanging the Almanac for a great meal. Feel free to exchange back with another service—a concert, gardening, cuddling, protest participation, etc
