Formless Arts

Formless Arts is an artistic platform created by Bruno Caverna that amalgamates a diversity of art-forms and human endeavors. The purpose is educational in essence and it aims to interweave different external expressions from a formless source that connects and unifies all.
Formless Arts are those with a profound ethical engagement and constitution, dealing with the sources and roots of our modes of being (together), that is our ways of perceiving experiencing and creating ourselves as part of the world, and how we relate with the different existential territories (mental, relational, environmental).
Through these practices we develop concrete tools and approaches to sustaining life, integrity and community (in its singularities and differences) developing an ethical-aesthetic paradigm that shifts away from understanding value as the accumulation of profit and power, towards supporting and engaging one another through contact (physical, energetic, emotional).
The formless is sustained by and inspired in the infinite flux and flow of life, its seemingly chaotic and informal quality, that generates, composes and becomes form and that we can access for creation, composition, conception in an attempt to make sense and meaning of what we describe as the infinite possibilities that surround us and stimulate creations and relations when we are attuned to it.
