::::::::: SOCIOPLASTICS

Socioplastics is a transdisciplinary terrain where architecture, epistemology and art converge

ABOUT

FRAMING THE LANDSCAPE

Fredrik Lund’s playful 2012 visors—wearable frames crafted from cardboard—resurface as prescient tools for spatial empathy; once worn in NTNU’s studio and Oslo’s landscapes, they transformed bodies into mobile apertures, merging architecture, performance, and critique; these early experiments, blending poetry, pedagogy, and ecology, now echo in Lund’s hybrid teaching and Some Houses, where built forms mirror terrain with tactile humility; in a world shaped by AI and climate urgency, Lund’s socioplastic ethos invites us to wear architecture, not as armor, but as dialogue.

ICONIC BUILDING NEXT TO TRAIN TRACKS __ 24 ATELIER UNITS. MADRID M-40

The Trole Building, designed by Anto Lloveras and Alberto Sánchez Cabezudo, is an iconic structure located in the south of Madrid. Initially an old coffee factory, it was transformed into a modern office space with a striking facade of white zinc panels. The design emphasized creating a contemporary aesthetic in contrast to the surrounding brick buildings. The project required complex planning and adjustments to comply with local regulations, including fire safety measures. The building’s minimalist exterior and clean lines make it a standout in its industrial context.

Designing the Urban Grid of ARCO’05

This project, developed under the @TABLE unit, functioned as a temporary city that challenged the rigid structures of the traditional art fair. By utilizing industrial materials such as shipping containers, wooden battens, and DM boards, the design addressed the friction between global commerce and the need for human-centric social nodes.

PAN DE NEVE

Pan de Neve proposes a scene-as-score structure rooted in minimalism, animism and real-time improvisation, drawing from the prior project Sons-Nús – Catro Nubes but expanding its scope through a refined sensorial dramaturgy, the performance unfolds across ten sound fragments—or places—activated by five bodies on stage

Unstable Light * Entangling the Social Fabric

A transdisciplinary investigation where the body, the light, and the net converge into a single "Social Sculpture". Activated in the landscape of Provence, this work visualizes the invisible threads of collective memory and human rights. It is a process-based investigation into how shared materials can bridge cultural gaps and foster sustainable coexistence through a continuous state of mutation.

COSMOTIDIANO

A "mutable collective habitat"—a temporary occupation that addresses the friction between institutional space and the raw vitality of collaborative practice.

re-(t)exHile IV Lagos Art and Architecture Biennial * Resistance in the Afterlife of Cloth

Presented at the 4th Lagos Art and Architecture Biennial in February 2024, re-(t)exHile occupies the symbolic space of Tafawa Balewa Square, a former colonial racecourse turned civic arena, to address themes of sovereignty, displacement and material memory; curated by Folakunle Oshun and Kathryn Weir, the Biennial challenges conventional exhibition models, favouring open-ended and collaborative formats where artworks act as generative gestures rather than final forms, and in this context, re-(t)exHile materialises as a relational installation composed of discarded textiles, ephemeral structures and found materials that trace the movement of global waste across African territories; created by Martinka Bobrikova, Óscar De Carmen, Adebola Badmus, María Alejandra Gatti and Anto Lloveras, the work is informed by prior field research, a photographic archive by Mide King, and digital storytelling, forming a living document that explores refuge, exile and repair through the lens of textile circulation and environmental violence; more than a static piece, it acts as a critical fabric, stitching together postcolonial narratives and the overlooked economies of secondhand clothing in Lagos.

Cuerpos Filmados: 10 Years of Active Socioplastics. A decade-long meta-film archive-

Dive into the rhizomatic archive of Cuerpos Filmados. This ten-year longitudinal study (2008–2018) captures the intersection of architecture, epistemology, and art. A transdisciplinary laboratory of filmed agency, documenting the collective survival of the urban subject across Madrid, Mexico DF, and beyond.

RESTORAN SPLENDID ___ SOCIOPLASTICS BY LLOVERAS - WITH ::::: BRIGITTE BRAND, KOSIA, RUDI BENETIK, ME

Restoran Splendid is a site-specific socioplastic installation by Anto Lloveras that redefines traditional hierarchies in visual representation. The concept centers around the idea of equality and shared presence, where each artist in the Rabbit Island residence occupies every position within a series of eight photographs. By rotating the artists through identical settings, Lloveras eliminates the notion of a fixed protagonist, ensuring that every individual takes a turn at the forefront and the background. This structured repetition blurs distinctions between subject and context, producing a visual and social equilibrium where all participants are equally highlighted and obscured. The effect is a looped, democratic tableau that resists singular narratives, celebrating the fluidity and interdependence of each contributor’s role. This approach, termed socioplastics, engages the viewer in a contemplation of communal presence, challenging the typical focus on individual prominence in art.

House and Dome: Minimal Architecture as Conversational Sculpture

Belonging to the Minimal Architecture Series, exemplifies an aesthetic of radical simplicity, where the structure is reduced to the most elemental gestures: lines of bamboo and threads barely outlining the memory of a shelter. What emerges is not a model of construction but a diagram of inhabitation, a fragile articulation between geometry and void. Its architectural vocabulary resists solidity; instead, it thrives on instability, exposing the precariousness of all spatial definitions. Presented within the context of the Unstable Installation Series at Zuccato Gallery in Poreč, Croatia, and in dialogue with Danino Bozic under the curatorial direction of Jerica Ziherl, the work functions as both installation and conversation. Here, architecture becomes performance, a medium for negotiation and encounter rather than permanence.

URBAN PUNCH LOVE

A pop-humanoid scaled to seat height, Urban Punch Love converts street furniture into an extrovert actor. Its bulbous rubber body, sprung legs and comic physiognomy invite touch before thought, collapsing the distance between spectator and object. The work proposes interaction as the primary civic programme: a bench that looks back, a mascot that supports weight, an urban companion whose ergonomics are legible at a glance. In doing so, it reframes the plaza as a stage for proxemics and play rather than merely circulation.

EL DORADO – Socioplastic Sculpture (Madrid, 2013) AFFECTION IS FUEL

EL DORADO is a socioplastic sculpture by Anto Lloveras (Madrid, 2013), formed by a single emergency blanket passed between artists. Ephemeral, shared, and affective, it resists monumentality, transforming gold into care and presence into form—part of HIPERVÍNCULOS, a network of relational states.

MUDAS - Mexico City

The MUDAS installations consist of a single fresh banana leaf pinned to the wall, which gradually dries out, changing color and releasing a distinct aroma that fills the space. This process is inherently social as visitors are photographed interacting with the piece, creating a participatory experience. The artwork connects to local culture, using the same banana leaves traditionally employed in making tamales, adding a layer of contextual significance. As the leaf transforms over time, it symbolizes change and ephemeral beauty, blending installation art with a tactile, sensory engagement rooted in local customs.

HIDDEN FORCES

The “Hidden Forces” project is a conceptual land art series set in the dunes of Cádiz. It transforms graffiti-covered concrete into minimalist art using solid black rectangles, drawing on Suprematism’s geometric aesthetics. The intervention contrasts the organic dune forms and the stark black shape, symbolizing the tension between human impact and nature. As the winds and sands shift, these markings will inevitably fade, emphasizing the impermanence and invisibility of human presence. This ephemeral act becomes a dialogue between concealment and revelation in the landscape’s context.

Microscale Green Infrastructures as Everyday Therapeutic Landscapes: The Restorative Potential of Sm

Small urban green spaces in central Madrid offer restorative benefits closely linked to vegetation, safety, and time spent on-site. Using psychometric scales, the study finds that these areas promote mental restoration, especially when designed to support social interaction and environmental quality. The results underscore the importance of integrating green micro-infrastructures into dense urban settings as part of public health and urban planning strategies.

Portable Memory and Ritual Affection

The blanket, featured persistently across the Unstable Installation Series (2020–2024), operates not as an object but as a device of affect, circulation and performative presence. Stripped of its domestic singularity, it reappears across geographies—draped on chairs, hanging from walls, wrapped around bodies in winter landscapes or layered over furniture in modest interiors—accumulating narrative tension through repetition. This continuous activation resists aesthetic fixity, privileging gesture over monument, use over preservation. The blanket becomes a surface of interaction where time, bodies and context inscribe meaning, generating a fluid archive rooted in relational encounters and situated rituals.

Threads of Meaning __ The Emotional, Political, and Healing Power of Contemporary Textile Art

The international panel at the Guimarães Biennial 2024, curated by Lala de Dios, explored the evolving role of contemporary textile art in addressing personal, political, and healing themes. Artists showcased how textiles transcend their traditional functions, becoming powerful tools for emotional expression, activism, and storytelling. Projects like Re-(t)exHile emphasized sustainability, while works by Barbara Long and Meghan Price highlighted intimate narratives.

THEWOODWAY Norway with Fredrik Lund @ NTNU

Video series documenting a pedagogical architecture experiment in Norway (NTNU, 2008), reveals the power of collaborative construction as both educational strategy and spatial research. The project involved eighty first-year architecture students building a one-to-one wooden superstructure, generating eighteen distinct spatial concepts under the guidance of faculty and professionals. Filmed and edited as short episodic reflections, the series frames architecture not as static output but as a processual practice, grounded in participation, negotiation, and continuous interpretation.

EASY RIDER

Inspired by the free-spirited ethos of motorcycling culture, the building is conceived as a "street garage" — an infrastructure that integrates private living with communal systems of mobility and recreation. The architectural layout takes on a dynamic zig-zag form, optimising solar exposure and allowing for efficient spatial sequencing across floors. Plans include shared patios and multi-functional rooftop terraces, enhancing community interaction. The ground floor and vertical core are configured as shared circulatory spaces that mimic urban streets, painted in bold graphic lines to simulate roadways, further blurring the boundaries between public and private space.

Qualitätskontrolle III: A Synesthetic Installation FIT 2021 CÁDIZ

Qualitätskontrolle III transformed the former tobacco warehouses of Cádiz into a synaesthetic installation where film, choreography, sound and architecture merged into a single organism. Rather than staging a theatre piece, the work unfolded as a process of composition in situ: a haute cuisine dish “served warm,” without script or fixed narrative. Each participant—dancers, musicians, technicians, even the audience—functioned as ingredients of a collective recipe. The scenography was built from sacks of coarse salt, blankets, scaffolding, banners and cables, combined with the colossal emptiness of the nave itself. Two large suspended screens projected a film that mirrored the live action, binding reality and representation in a continuous feedback.

YouTube Breakfast / Dinamicas del sujeto conectado / Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

Already in 2009, Anto Lloveras presented YouTube Breakfast at a doctoral seminar at UAM, focusing on how the accumulation of video content online is a form of collective intelligence. The workshop highlighted that historical film archives, videography, and recorded conferences, once accessible only in museums, are now part of a digital “new school” accessible to everyone on platforms like YouTube. This session emphasized the need to engage with this vast digital knowledge as a form of public memory and evolving cultural practice.

e

A compact visual reflection on how a typographic sign—specifically the letter “e”—can embody both fracture and memory. Through domestic spaces, studio walls, scorched ruins, and gestures, the video tracks the symbolic collapse and persistence of cultural remnants. The letter is more than a glyph; it becomes a witness, carried, broken, and recontextualized across time and space. The visuals move from warmth to desolation without explanation, embracing discontinuity as a form of narrative. This approach foregrounds the poetic in the fragment, where meaning isn’t stated but sensed. By refusing clarity, the work invites us to dwell in the gaps between object, body, and ruin, rendering the typographic symbol as a relic of both language and loss.

The performance "Cadaver Exquisito" took place at Cruce, Doctor Fourquet 5, on October 31, 2020. It was a collective action where each participant played a role: one threw, another dissected, another narrated, another carried with care, and another prepared a ritual. The form of the "corpse" was influenced by various elements—mass quality, spatial tangency, conversational dynamics, body temperatures, and interest in dissolution. The "Exquisite Corpse" is a method of collective creation, originally from literature, where each participant adds to the work without knowing the previous contributions, resulting in an unpredictable and emergent final composition.

Art Meets Fashion is a hybrid visual project where ephemeral garments, sculptural fashion and urban scenography converge. Part of LAPIEZA’s Unstable Installation Series, it reimagines the body as a mobile platform for site-responsive installations. Shot in Madrid in 2011, the project offers looped clips and striking imagery where models interact with precarious materials and symbolic props. The result is a poetic critique of aesthetic systems, consumption, and identity, framed under the concept of Socioplastics.

HUMAN RIGHTS AND CULTURE CONGRESS ___________________ POSTORY :::::::: Gentrification, Turistization

Socioplastics, as articulated by Antonio Lloveras Caminos, serves as an evolving concept that aligns artistic practice with cultural ecology and transformation. In a world grappling with urgent socio-political, economic, and cultural challenges, socioplastics emerges as a framework for fostering creative engagement in the face of these crises. It embodies the intersection of relational art and the dynamics of cultural environments, proposing artistic interventions as tools to reshape collective consciousness and reclaim public spaces

SPANISH BAR _ BAR ESPAÑOL ***** CONTEXT AS READYMADE _ UNSTABLE INSTALLATION SERIES

The traditional Spanish bar, once a vibrant hub of community life, is fading into memory. These spaces, where neighbors gathered for a morning coffee or an evening caña, are giving way to generic cafes and themed eateries that lack the charm and authenticity of the old taverns. What was once the beating heart of local culture—a place for debate, laughter, and camaraderie—is now being replaced by polished, impersonal establishments. This shift reflects a broader transformation of urban landscapes, driven by gentrification and changing social habits. With each bar closure, an era ends.

What Is The Word * The Architecture of Affection and the Monochromatic Satellite

Beyond the gallery fetish, the Light Social Sculpture Series redefines the art object as a "situational fixer." A nomadic intersection of Beckettian inquiry and chromatic intervention, these works transform the urban trajectory into a living archive of memory, affection, and radical presence.

LAPIEZA — Relational Art Agency

LAPIEZA is an experimental art project founded by Anto Lloveras and Esther Lorenzo, developed over fifteen years as a numbered sequence of exhibitions and research actions. Each series activates temporary environments where art, science, and collective practice intersect, generating conditions rather than finished forms. Working across everyday and institutional spaces, LAPIEZA operates as a decolonial, process-based framework that tests how contexts become material, how collaboration redistributes authorship, and how exhibition formats remain porous, unstable, and alive. Through its evolving structure, LAPIEZA produces situated installations, performances, and micro-ecologies that challenge conventional modes of display and cultural production.

*Double Sided* is a conceptual dance and film series by Anto Lloveras and Mateo Feijoo, exploring themes of duality and minimalism through real-time, two-channel performances. Each movement echoes the previous one but varies subtly, emphasizing the ephemeral nature of process-based art. Inspired by Beckett, 1960s American minimalism, Erwin Wurm’s sculptures, and Paul Preciado’s philosophy, the series uses minimal scenic elements and standardized wardrobe to focus purely on bodily presence and rhythm, creating an aesthetic of deliberate simplicity and raw expression.

Chromatic Machines in a Prefab Factory

Lilac and orange modules, once playful contrasts in prefab factories, return as tools for ecological transition—hosting air systems, rest pods, or EV hubs. Beyond aesthetics, they frame a socioplastic ethic: color as mediator between body, machine, and atmosphere. In a post-brand landscape, these forms persist—adaptive, affective, and quietly radical.

URBANAS - Critical Urban Praxis

URBANAS is an international urban research practice led by Paula Lloveras and Anto Lloveras, working between architecture, art, and critical spatial investigation. Their projects activate cities as analytical and experimental frameworks where design, narrative, and fieldwork intersect to examine infrastructures, bodies, and territorial transformations

CAPA * Council for Anticipatory Politics

CAPA is a transdisciplinary platform rooted in agonistic theory, where philosophers, theorists, and artists co-develop micro-essays, graphic concepts, and rhizomatic dialogues. Emerging from LAPIEZA, it fosters asymmetric, non-linear conversations guided by thinkers like Foucault, Deleuze, Bourdieu and others, generating a cloud-based archive (BRAIN) of synthetic ideas. Each concept (CAPA 001–999) blends epistemology, visual language, and symbolic capital, creating a replicable, open-source model for intellectual cross-pollination and narrative experimentation.

The briefcase transforms spaces into ephemeral artworks, blending urban mobility with conceptual art. In continuous use, it transcends conventional exhibition formats.

Landart Fjord Museum: Architecture of Minimal Impact

Designed to merge with the forested fjordscape of Hardanger, Norway, the Landart Museum presents a refined example of low-impact architectural integration, combining energy efficiency, material responsibility, and experiential depth. The building minimises energy consumption across all systems through passive design strategies: its structure, primarily raised on pillars, reduces land occupation and environmental disruption while promoting air circulation and visual permeability. Constructed with locally sourced timber, it echoes regional construction traditions and reduces embodied energy.

EL PALMERAL – SUSTAINABLE URBAN PROJECT IN MÁLAGA

El Palmeral received an honourable mention in the 2017 COAM Urbanas competition under the theme Manzana Verde – Sustainable Neighbourhood in Málaga. Designed by Paula Lloveras Caminos and Antonio Lloveras Caminos, the project envisions a dense, walkable, mixed-use neighbourhood anchored in environmental responsibility, historical continuity, and social cohesion. At its core, El Palmeral proposes a city that requires no fossil fuels, based on efficient land use, compact housing typologies, and a focus on green infrastructure and low-carbon construction. The urban layout integrates 11 tower buildings (up to 18 floors) surrounded by low-rise housing, urban gardens, shaded boulevards, and collective open spaces, fostering both environmental performance and community life. Presented at the Urban Center at Morlaco in Málaga and published in Revista Arquitectura COAM 373 Manifiesto, the project stresses the value of traditional urbanism, historical street networks, and adaptable public-private interfaces. Its diagrams explore emissions reduction, building typologies, and flexible modularity, advocating for a city model that is sustainable, inclusive, and resilient.

Recreo Art Space is a dynamic 100 m² venue for interdisciplinary projects blending art, performance, and spatial exploration. “Movements for an Unstable Symphonic Ritual” series navigates themes of fluidity, ritual, and transformation. The evolving installations—spanning several series—invite collaboration and spontaneous creation, bridging the gap between artistic experimentation and shared space.

BLUE BAGS ::::::::::: UNSTABLE SOCIAL SCULPTURE - TRANSLATORIAL 2014-2019 SITUATIONAL FIXER

The Blue Bags embody the concept of the Unstable Social Sculpture, where the most basic elements — a simple plastic bag — become the most complex. These bags operate in duality: as art and as functional objects, their role shifting depending on context. They function as Translatorial pieces, transforming environments through minimal yet intentional placement. Acting as Situational Fixers, they adapt to and highlight the uniqueness of each setting, questioning the boundaries of art, utility, and visibility, thus becoming symbols of impermanence and fluidity in conceptual art.

Doube Sided — Residence on an Island

Double Sided operates as a diptych in motion—two parallel bodies, two lines of thought, approaching without collapsing. What emerges is a legible scenic language built from graphic syntagms, everyday objects, and subtle sonic fields that translate the affective texture of the ordinary. The project advances through serial actions. Each body composes its own sequence while remaining porous to the presence of the other. This dual focus—autonomy and resonance—structures a didactic system that is rhythmic, self-regulating, and experimental. Stability on one side; intelligibility in the fold. The scene becomes a testing ground where elements are distinguished, pruned, and reassembled without redundancy.

Adriatic Sea, Croatia. After a year of work, I present the latest Taxidermy. I have walked this city repeatedly—treating it as canvas, frame, and supermarket. Always with my knife. I bring 250 cuts. Rigo Gallery is a space I deeply respect. For over twenty years, its curators have welcomed hundreds of international artists from across disciplines. Noam Chomsky once gave a lecture here. The cuts of Lucio Fontana have hung on these walls—he, too, carried a knife. He was one of my childhood heroes. Now, the main dish I serve is raw: a fresh display of meat. Meat as art. “Meat” is the tag I assign to each piece I extract from the city’s animals—street furniture, fixtures, residual architecture. The full-scale Taxidermy installation will occupy the main wall. Around it, I bring a cloud of collateral works: related fragments, echoed narratives, and a set of monochrome objects still in use—situational fixers. Nothing is wasted. No leftovers.

Everything Changes in This Place in Malasaña

Imagine a place where installations undergo constant changes, where every artistic work, exhibition, or performance leaves its mark. LAPIEZA embodies this concept. It is a container and a platform for “relational art.” LAPIEZA is a collective work, with periodic performances called “mutations.” Every week, an artist contributes a recently executed piece, which is created live. The audience can witness the realization of the artwork in real time and interact with the environment.

LACALLE * A Right-to-the-City Device 2010

A performative-urban project i emerging from an urgent artistic and political intuition: to return poetic action to the street as a form of civic presence, affective protest, and spatial listening. Rooted in the collaborative matrix of Maite Dono (voice), Hectruso (MiniRoc system) and El Intruso (live sound), LACALLE unfolds as a series of mobile performances across different Spanish cities—Ferrol, Madrid, Gijón, Sevilla, Almería—where the act of walking, sounding, and speaking becomes a situated reappropriation of public space. The MiniRoc, a wearable sound apparatus carried like a backpack, is more than a tool—it's an expressive prosthesis that turns the performer into a walking amplifier, a poetic antenna. Each episode—filmed and archived by Tomoto—transforms overlooked urban environments into sites of encounter and disruption: from whispering to a market wall to amplifying voice in a salt mine or a decaying square, these gestures are minimal yet deeply charged, forming a poetics of the infrastructural.
