The Socioplastic Logics of Serial Production

The evolving series-based methodology exemplifies a unique form of serial thinking in contemporary artistic and architectural practice, where repetition, tempo and compactness coalesce into a personal grammar of creation that displaces traditional disciplinary boundaries; from the early capsule-like series such as EXIT or FIRE, intense and gesture-driven, to the later expansive cycles like ARTNATIONS, Lloveras’s work demonstrates how a structural decision—a series of ten pieces per year—becomes an epistemological engine, framing not only artworks but entire temporal moods, life stages, and itineraries of thought, allowing the practice to remain agile yet deeply grounded in lived experience; the more recent series (Sverige, Lumbar) fuse mobility, affection, architecture, and ordinary moments into cohesive, affective constellations that resist the thematic closure of conventional art-making, favoring instead an osmotic approach that metabolizes walks, texts, materials, and memories into modular time blocks, where each unit captures the weather of a season rather than a fixed idea; in this system, the archive becomes an extended prosthesis of attention, where each entry maintains a duration and density that mirrors Lloveras’s interest in unstable installations and situational fixers, such as the yellow bag, objects that accrue meaning relationally rather than symbolically; thus, the serial structure ceases to be a container and becomes the content itself—a formalized rhythm that converts life into socioplastic matter, collapsing distinctions between research, diary, sculpture and pedagogy.
