Rather than a fixed structure, Socioplastics operates as a porous system absorbing diverse contexts over fifteen years (2010–2025), transforming authorship into an ecology of care and occupation. Rooted in the lineage of artist-operators, this evolving body of work approaches art as an infrastructural frequency rather than a finished object. In Taxidermy (948 cuts) and Subtraction, cutting becomes an affective method—not to destroy, but to reveal, echoing Fontana’s dimensional ruptures and Matta-Clark’s spatial critiques. The Yellow Bag and Situational Fixers embody nomadic rituals, where objects carry memory, presence, and geopoetic resonance, aligned with Beuys and Orozco. In Lagos, projects like Blanket and re-(t)exHile articulate a postcolonial aesthetics of repair, weaving Ukeles’ maintenance art with Salcedo’s material testimony. Walk-based works in cities like Bratislava and Mexico position the body as a spatial sensor, amplifying relational instability à la Tiravanija. From House and Dome to El Palmeral, architecture is reframed as protocol, drawing on Theaster Gates’ notion of urban acupuncture. Socioplastics culminates not in closure, but in expansion. - https://antolloveras.blogspot.com - porousSystems, affectiveCuts, careEcologies, nomadicSculpture, postcolonialTextiles, urbanWalking, relationalArchitecture, mutantArt, spatialRepair, artistOperators
