Socioplastics * An Expanded Canon



S
ocioplastics (2010–2025) defines a transdisciplinary methodology by Anto Lloveras, merging architecture, art, and situated epistemologies through minimal gestures, unstable installations, and serial interventions. Across more than 1,000 actions, the practice articulates a planetary archive of ephemeral forms, ritual presence, and conceptual mobility. Core works such as MEAT and the Taxidermy Series explore urban subtraction as sculptural method; Broth reclaims cooking as an affective performance of care and slow knowledge; Re-(t)exHile at the Lagos Biennial maps textile exile and postcolonial repair; Cosmotidiano frames the domestic as planetary; El DoradoThe BlanketMudas and Blue Bags activate decay, affection, and circulation as forms of non-extractive presence. Portable pieces like the Green Briefcase and Yellow Bag operate as situational fixers and relational tools, while collective actions like Cadáver ExquisitoSpanish Bar, and LACALLE reclaim public space and museographic ritual. Together, they form the basis of a United Nations of Art—an open, iterative canon of socioplastic works that resist commodification and invite shared authorship.
