Suprainfinit, Bucharest

APPARATUS 22

Through the customary communication from Suprainfinit to the blue world – the voice memos – Munknown, head of The Department of Art Investments, is getting across an urgent message to all art collectors about an offer impossible to refuse. As with all offers there is also something else: a precondition to go through a self-evaluation exercise no matter if you are a new collector or a legendary one; or anything in between.

Take a paper and pen and press start.

All ears ready?

Apparatus 22 is a transdisciplinary art collective founded in 2011 by current members Erika Olea, Maria Farcas, Dragos Olea together with Ioana Nemes (1979 – 2011); since 2015 they are working between Bucharest, Brussels and Suprainfinit utopian universe.

 

They see themselves as a collective of daydreamers, citizens of many realms, researchers, poetic activists and (failed) futurologists interested in exploring the intricate relationships between economy, politics, gender studies, social movements, fashion in order to understand contemporary society.
