a piece...together?

apt? is a work frame that investigates different artistic practices, experiential archives, gestures and experiments in between words, actions and inter corporeal experiences.

apt? is an artistic investigation framed as a fractal economy of informal knowledge and collective experiences.

In apt? different practices are developed in various contexts and through different collaborations; that’s why apt? isn’t a project of two but of - every and no one - at the same time.

apt? could be a movement of movements, of gestures, diagrams and of intertwined corporealities.

(apt?) is a technology that asks itself, in between improvisation and unpredictability. And, because it is aware that (it is and, it isn’t necessary at the same time) it is, at times, in between brackets.

apt? puts itself at stake and plays simultaneously with concepts and with the bodies that experiment it.

apt? tries to co-relate the indicative present of the world, through crossings and break-throughs that operate against the dominant and obvious reality that, we sometimes, impose to ourselves.

In between uselessness and radicalism, apt? wishes to pierce the reality of the bodies that think-move it in between.

apt? is a joyful and thinking way of learning that sustains both, the question and the problem of what for, to whom, which and how WE is.
