Apparatus 22 presented exhibition Several Laws. Multiplicity Review at Brussels’ Académie royale des beaux-arts de Bruxelles, which opened February 1 and run to February 24.
Featuring a range of works by the Bucharest-based transdisciplinary art collective, founded in January 2011 by Erika Olea, Maria Farcas, Ioana Nemes (1979 – 2011) and Dragos Olea, the show included large frames of hand dyed leather and poetic texts that, according to the press release, raise questions around “the registers of visibility or non-visibility, the notions of occultation, resistance and commitment in relation to the present.”
Several Laws… is the first time the works have been exhibited in an academic context, re-read through the theme of ‘Stealth’ and the human body, where “its natural or artificial shields (skin and clothing) are at stake and become the battlefield of contradictory ideological projections, bearing conflicts or simmering with hidden controversies.”**
