Displacement Project,
Berlin/Murcia - 2010 by Piso Collective
Within the scope of what has been called the ‘’creative class’’, it has been developed an ongoing need for mobility, either by weak labour conditions that force someone to move in order to search for subsistence; or due to the desire of accessing ‘’ways of doing’’, different from the departure point.
Beyond judging this need as a positive or a negative influence, we developed a process of research on how the notion of Displacement affects processes of cultural production.
One of the main reasons why we took this concept lies in its breadth in its polysemic capacity and in the multiplicity of its narrative pathways, not necessarily linear. Thanks to this, we can analyze cause and effect, reference and referent from a creative reading attitude.
Displacement is a generative process, through which Piso Collective articulates a dynamic series of works that reflect on interrelated concepts with the idea of:
cultural production, space, place, nation, border, territory, travel, symbol,
history, context, de-contextualization, identity, network, self-organization,
strength/resistance, empathy, otherness, anachronism, mirror neurons, sequence,
dyslexia, shift, memory, eco ...

Displacement is Not Movement / May
One month intensive colaborative art residence with presentations in Berlin and in Bilbau, during the month of May.
Understanding displacement not as movement allows one to explore the notions of mental displacement, and the ways that affect the collaborative work of the group, understanding how to deal with that allows one to achieve multilayered results.

This book is the product of an invitation made to several authors, with whom we have shared personal and professional experiences throughout the time, to reflect upon notions of displacement or about collectivism as a systematical creative method. The outcome is a publication of diverse approaches within the compass of these ideas, comprising of original texts and artwork created for this project.
