Description:

Text published in public distribution graphic piece (2012)

In 2007, the Rojas Cultural Center - University Extension of the University of Buenos Aires summons me to conceptualize and develop a new training space. This is how I propose LiPac, Research Laboratory in Contemporary Artistic Practices, platforms focused on a research practice, the development of better critical instruments and the transformation of knowledge transmission scenarios. The project calls for this, some kind of interruption of the standards of the usual training spaces: academy, workshops, clinics. The purpose was then and remains to offer an imaginative dynamic of dialogue and reciprocity between artistic practices and theoretical drifts. Do it, in addition, from a public stage, with its resources to offer links between local and non-local practices, and from there raise questions about the sovereignty of our interests and our fundamental acts as artists.

We noticed that a certain hegemonic vision prevailed with respect to valuation criteria in the art world; concepts of emotional confinement such as beauty, genius, coherence of style, poeticity, and many others, populated the lexicon of writing about art. On the other hand, some experiences called self-management showed that they could move the device by reproducing it, that it could be a place of accumulation of power if the necessary shortcuts were created.

Then, it was essential to ask ourselves: Why do we need art if it is not to attempt against its own story and forms of crystallization?

In 2007 the unexpected happened in the city.
The emergence of a public space to act and revolt. A rhythmic space CONVERE-SA-CIO-NAL from which to dismantle these policies and emit leak lines. Capable of SELF-ALTERING as an alternative to the standardizing forms of institutions.

From that moment LiPac acts. You do not want an art that reproduces the destiny you have historically had so far. You don't want a unidirectional art, for an elite. You don't want an art like that. It does not aspire to words or system honors. He wants an art that everyone can practice, a liberated art.

With MasterPlan, the laboratory develops a device for types of emancipated practices of the existing categories known so far - an ambitious and extreme topological turn -, ways of working and research between heterogeneous possible universes. It aims to change the idea we have of art, to complexify historical paradigms regarding fields, disciplines, categories, genres. A FANTASTIC engineering that encourages horizontal involvement between practices, knowledge and experiences. It is not the art that reaches the social peripheries to colonize their desires. It is the practice and skills of art meeting other practices and ways of exercising criticism, analysis and enjoyment. An ontological adventure.
