LAPIEZA — Relational Art Agency

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.

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.

Landart Fjord Museum: Architecture of Minimal Impact

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.

House and Dome: Minimal Architecture as Conversational Sculpture

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.

MUDAS - Mexico City

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.

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.

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

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.

Subtraction Series _______ Serbia 2016

Subtraction Series _______ Serbia 2016
Minimalist landscape interventions where the natural environment served as the canvas. Using careful, precise cuts, a small triangle was removed from the forest, each side representing the length of a single walk. The absence created by the subtraction was temporary, allowing nature to heal and regrow over a season. This delicate disruption of space emphasized transience and subtle impact, leaving no permanent marks. The work is part of the Supernatural Series, highlighting impermanence and the tension between human intervention and nature’s resilience.

KINGDOM V

KINGDOM V
The Kingdom Series are temporary interventions in the landscape that challenge conventional perceptions of nature and art. Each action, part of the Subtraction Series, emphasizes the idea that altering or removing elements within a space can reveal the hidden dynamics of the environment. These subtle modifications play with visibility and presence, creating ephemeral installations that question what it means to "occupy" a landscape. The works exist in a liminal state, where art and nature merge, allowing the viewer to reconsider the boundaries of both.

Cultures, Representations, and the Cultural Study of Science

Cultures, Representations, and the Cultural Study of Science
Science and Culture Studies was a research network based in the Madrid Region focused on the intersection of cultures, representations, spaces, and practices. It provides a shared platform for reflection, research, and education, positioning science as a core element of cultural interest. The network supports the study of public knowledge spaces—political, artistic, economic—and promotes scientific knowledge dissemination within cultural contexts. CREP fosters collaborative research and training initiatives across diverse groups. Activities include seminars, exhibitions, courses, and symposia, such as the 2011 Strategic Seminar featuring Daniel Martín Bayón and Kira O’Reilly, hosted by LaPieza.

CADÁVER EXQUISITO___2020 ACCIÓN MUSEOGRÁFICA ESPACIO CRUCE
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.

COSMOTIDIANO / Mutable Collectives : Reframing the Everyday

COSMOTIDIANO / Mutable Collectives : Reframing the Everyday
Presented as a mutable collective habitat, exemplifies a process-based artistic inquiry into the shifting nature of shared space and its entanglement with everyday materials, gestures and relationships. Developed at the Centro Comarcal de Humanidades Sierra Norte in 2012, the installation emerged as a temporary occupation and spatial reconfiguration, shaped collaboratively by Eduardo Cajal, Regina Fiz, Tomoto and Hectruso, el intruso. Through a layered sequence of participatory actions, ephemeral architectures and symbolic displacements, the installation interrogated how the domestic and the planetary, the intimate and the infrastructural, fold into one another within spatial practices. The use of ordinary materials—bales of hay, plastic mesh, citrus fruit, light and shadow—generated a sensorial and relational environment where visitors were not merely observers but implicated bodies within a living system. Such a mode of engagement reflects broader concerns in contemporary installation art that aim to dissolve the subject–object dichotomy and emphasise process, transformation and co-presence - LAPIEZA / EXHIBITION #49

"Sons-Nús – Catro Nubes" is a transdisciplinary performance, where visual art intertwines with live music to create an immersive experience. Presented at the Escenas do Cambio festival in Santiago de Compostela's Cidade da Cultura, the piece features a minimalist scenography composed of drawings and photographic elements that frame the musicians: Maite Dono (voice), Baldo Martínez (double bass), Xosé Miguélez (saxophone), and Ton Risco (vibraphone). The work merges the ethereal sounds of jazz and experimental music with visual narratives, creating a dialogue between music, space, and imagery. The set consists of nine compositions that explore themes of presence and absence, resonating with the improvisational nature of the performers and the fluid aesthetics of Lloveras’s art direction

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Sunflower Fields art residency in Bokros, Slovakia, part of the Supernatural Series, is an ongoing project that integrates nature and local culture. The residency, hosted by artist Yuri Dólan, provides a collaborative space for artists to engage with rural landscapes, working in a historical farm setting surrounded by sunflowers, cornfields, and the Danube River. The event includes installations, lectures, and performances, emphasizing relational and situational art. Central themes include temporality, nature, and context-based narratives, resulting in exhibitions and film productions.

Portable Memory and Ritual Affection

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.

ART MEETS FASHION * SETS AND CLIPS 2011 MADRID LAPIEZA
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.

Stage Series
*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.

SKOGFINSK MUSEUM

SKOGFINSK MUSEUM
The Norsk Skogfinsk Museum in Svullrya, Norway, integrates architecture with the forest landscape, reflecting the heritage of the local Forest-Finnish community. The design, called "Opening in the Forest," emphasizes sustainability with passive building strategies, natural materials, and renewable energy. The spatial layout includes public exhibition areas, a library, and a café, seamlessly connecting interior and exterior spaces, creating a respectful blend of culture, architecture, and nature.

CAPA * Council for Anticipatory Politics
CAPA, founded by Anto Lloveras, is a political-cognitive platform dedicated to rethinking the relations between philosophy, art, and epistemology. Operating through a distributed network of experts, CAPA cultivates agonistic debate, hybrid authorship, and serial micro-essays that dismantle dominant narratives. Its rotating methodology generates a living field of concepts—an evolving hermeneutic system attuned to the frictions of contemporary culture.

I International Congress of Ecological Humanities Universidad Autónoma de Madrid — May 22–24, 2023

I International Congress of Ecological Humanities Universidad Autónoma de Madrid — May 22–24, 2023
A transdisciplinary assembly of scholars, artists, and practitioners to rethink cultural, ethical and spatial responses to the planetary crisis. Across panels on eco-ethics, degrowth, post-anthropocentrism, and ecological aesthetics, the congress established a new academic and political urgency: to move from critique to proposition, from awareness to transition. In this framework, the contribution FAROS_TRANS by Anto Lloveras and Esther Lorenzo stood as a manifesto-project for a new urban ontology—envisioning the "Trans Lighthouse" as a modular infrastructure of care, housing, energy and algorithmic citizenship distributed across the 100 most populated cities in the world. Integrating speculative architecture with ecological pedagogy,

GREEN BRIEFCASE
A portable sculpture and positional fixator. Part of the UNSTABLE INSTALLATION SERIES (2014–2024), it has traveled across multiple locations, including Madrid, Mexico, Norway, Croatia, and Lagos. The briefcase transforms spaces into ephemeral artworks, blending urban mobility with conceptual art. In continuous use, it transcends conventional exhibition formats.

EASY RIDER

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.

EL PALMERAL – SUSTAINABLE URBAN PROJECT IN MÁLAGA

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.

Doube Sided — Residence on an Island

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.

TAXIDERMY III RIGO GALLERY CROATIA 2017
Taxidermy as Installation involves the cutting and rearrangement of objects to create a fragmented but cohesive visual language. By dissecting materials like fabric, leather, or even furniture, each piece transforms into an abstract composition, exploring themes of absence, presence, and reconstruction.

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.

RIGO GALLERY - SOLO SHOW CROATIA - THE CITY IS AN ANIMAL

RIGO GALLERY - SOLO SHOW CROATIA - THE CITY IS AN ANIMAL
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

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.

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

URBAN PUNCH LOVE

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
