Form Matters, Matter Forms

APALAZZOGALLERY invites eight Norwegian artists to produce site-specific works conceived and created for the palace hosting the exhibition and focused on one of the main issues of aesthetics and artistic research in both classical and contemporary times: the relationship between form and matter. In which ways can a form materialize? How does frsm affect matter? How does matter affect form? The artists are committed to suggesting different pongible answers to some of the basic questions for art in general, and specifically for contemporary art; eight parallel paths emerge, in which matter becomes form and form reveals itself into the matter; eight different investigations on the ways in  howconcretize the into matter, a d on thesways matter can transcend itself into a form. The polysemic title of the show suggests the multiple senses and meanings of the relation between form and matter, a necessary unit and a dialectical contrast at the same time.
