Ontological Cannibalism * Jurisdictional Syntax

An ontology is not declared; it is metabolised into existence. It emerges when a practice ceases merely to produce works and begins to organise the conditions under which works can exist. In this sense, LAPIEZA and Socioplastics are not parallel projects but two evolutionary phases within a single expanding organism. LAPIEZA—the Piece—announces its ambition in its very name: it absorbs. Across 2,200 numbered entries and 186 series, it has ingested exhibitions, installations, pedagogical experiments, architectural reflections, performative gestures, and curatorial formats. It has demonstrated amphibious capacity: art-space, urban space, institutional collaboration, independent initiative. It is visibly all-terrain. Yet precisely because of this plastic omnivorousness, it remained gravitationally inclined toward the art field. However expansive, it still circulated primarily within a recognisable cultural niche.
