Concept : To the casual observer the world appears in a constant state of perpetual motion organising itself into structures of increasing complexity. In this exhibition, sixteen artists from six countries have been asked to re-interpret this phenomenon in terms of their own creative practice.
From the philosophical to the humorous and the sublime to the absurd, the artworks present an interpretive response to the issues of cyclicity, entropy and what the ancient Greeks used to call hyparxis, or 'ableness to be'.
What is it that sustains inner creative momentum? How do we generate narratives within existential recurrence? How does Nature regenerate? Need human conflict be an inevitable result of historical precedent? Can modelling accurately emulate the real world? These are just some of the questions that exercise the ingenuity of the participating artists in Perpetuum Mobile.

| The Exhibition is part of a 10 year series of international exchange exhibitions by the independent artist group - A2 Arts. Contemporary artists from six countries will be taking part, ranging from recent graduates to those with an extensive exhibiting history, yet little known in the UK.
APT Gallery is a former engineering works on Deptford Creek and for this exhibition will be split between the front area, which will be naturally lit, and a darkened space to the rear for projections and light installations. During the exhibition there will be a series of lectures, seminars and associated education events.
