Apparatus

...................... Time for a well-deserved break 😊 Our studio will be closed from Thursday 19 December 2024 and will reopen on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Wishing all our colleagues and friends a wonderful holiday season! Looking forward to seeing you in the new year! ☀️

Apparatus is thrilled to announce the well-deserved promotions of Pascale Giorgi and Alessia Concetti Cossiri. After a year at Apparatus, both Pascale and Alessia have consistently demonstrated exceptional dedication, skill, and leadership in their roles, and we are excited to see them continue to contribute to Apparatus in new and impactful ways. Pascale Giorgi Since joining us in 2023, Pascale has made an impact with her hands-on experience in arts production, curation, programming, and graphic design. As a practising contemporary artist herself, her unique perspective merges creativity with a deep commitment to supporting dynamic artistic projects. We can't wait to see Pascale continue to push boundaries and drive innovative public art projects in her new role. The future is bright! Alessia Concetti Cossiri Alessia brings a unique blend of expertise in design, architecture, and sustainability, having earned a Master’s in Architecture and a second Master’s in Design focused on social impact. Her passion for using design to inspire change is central to her work, and she plays a vital role in shaping Apparatus’ creative vision, from architectural drawings to communications. With a commitment to addressing environmental and social justice issues, Alessia is driven by the belief that art and design can make a real difference in the world. We can’t wait to see the incredible projects she leads in her new role! #meettheteam #apparatusartculture #creativeproducer #publicart #art
