Former Cultura, in collaborazione con Entr’acte,
presenta dal 6 aprile al 18 maggio 2018, una personale di Francesco Aprile,
Pagine per un abbecedario asemantico.
«Gli abbecedari –
scrive l’artista – percorrono una strada in cui il materiale sociale,
culturale, quale quello alfabetico, è tentato dall’altro da sé della sua forma:
la grafia asemantica, la macchia, anche violenta come spessore del verbale o,
ancora, aggiunta, tono, scontro feroce. Queste scritture sono un testa a testa
fra segno socialmente istituito e scritture sbagliate che non conducono a
nulla, se non all’inciampo, al diluvio effimero del gesto continuando un lavoro
sulla scrittura volto a indagarne il lato perturbante».

Former
Culture, in collaboration with Entr'acte, presents from April 6 to May
18, 2018, a personal Francesco Aprile, Pages for an ABC asemantic.
"The
dictionaries of artists - says the artist - run through a road where
the social material, cultural, such as the alphabet, the other is
tempted by itself of its form: the handwriting asemantic, the stain,
even as violent thickness of the minutes or, still, adding, tone, fierce
collision. These scriptures are a sign of butt socially established and
wrong scriptures that do not lead to anything except all'inciampo, the
flood of ephemeral gesture continuing work on the face writing to
investigate the disturbing side. "
The
first primer was born in the form of artist's book in a single copy in
September 2016. In the same year, between September and October, other

Nelson; others, expression of the totality of the alphabet with the
