ABSTRACT
Laboratorio Arte Alameda in México City has been active as a space for interdisciplinary practices since year 2000. The building it inhabits dates from the 16th century and has served in many ways including being the beholder of one of the biggest national colonial painting collections. Having act as LAA’s director from 2007 to 2018, In this text I track some of the projects which explore collaborative, DIY or hackstyle approaches and how they benefit the current mission devoted to intersections among multiple fields of knowledge production, and the problematization of a compartmentalized culture in which formal knowledge is associated with thinking (and the highest in the hierarchy of knowledge production) and doing is not.
