(USA)	Santiago Cirugeda is an artist, theoretician and Spanish "activist" who lives and works in Seville. His main area of investigation is present-day housing and cities, and the public place and the private space. He teaches at the School of Scenography in Seville and at the ESARQ in Barcelona, where he participates in the master's programme "Habitat: contemporary housing and environments". His many urban exhibitions, installations and performances start from the premise that the departments which administer, plan and draw up the rules and regulations governing architecture and construction in cities are basically incapable of encompassing "the complexity of human reality", which is the very condition of inhabiting. In order to free the household space from this straight jacket, Santiago Cirugeda suggests literally sabotaging it from within: hijacks, contaminations, illegal and unauthorized installations, under-the-table contractual arrangements... He formulates empirical and realistic strategies to push the law to its limits and find in the law pockets of non-law in which to develop a possible habitat, a "mutant and silent" para-architecture.
