A-Legal

The law codifies a sense of social order through ideas of rights and permissibility, but there is an always-changing array of social constructs that escape the slow process of cultural acceptance and legal regulation. A-legal is a concept in Spanish that goes beyond the idea of a loophole to describe what the law has been unable to recognize, and therefore regulate. Combining artistic creativity with knowledge of the law, one can create a situation that remains unregulated and therefore free to propose a new way to operate, both socially and politically. This methodology uses the autonomy of art as a tool for permissibility, where unregulated acts push on the legality of a space that is beyond consequences.
