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».

"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 
dictionaries of artists: one, single letter ( "A"), intended to Stephen 
Nelson; others, expression of the totality of the alphabet with the 
addition of numbers and punctuation marks, for a collective folder with
