A 15-Year Trajectory of Socioplastics
What began in 2009 as a weekly mutation in a Madrid living room—a domestic laboratory where art was not exhibited but lived—has, fifteen years later, reconstituted itself as LAPIEZA-LAB: a sovereign, self-governing university of thought, complete with persistent identifiers (DOIs, RORs), machine-readable metadata, and a closed-loop epistemic architecture. This is not a simple evolution. It is a stratigraphic inversion. The trajectory from EXIT (node 001) to COPOS / THE END OF AN ERA (LAPIEZA-2200) traces the transformation of experimental relational art into explicit research infrastructure. In that transformation lies the project's singular contribution to contemporary practice: demonstrating that long-term curatorial practice can accumulate enough internal coherence to become infrastructure without abandoning its artistic nature.
