A Midsummer’s Red Dream: An Art Collective Exhibition Is Landing In Bormla
Ever wanted to indulge in art while on a summer stroll in the streets of Bormla?
The time has come – a new collective art exhibition is landing in Bormla, with the aim of bringing more art to the heart of communities.
Mqabba’s Melanie Erixon is embarking on a new collaboration, a program of art exhibitions with the iconic BOCO Boutique Hotel, run by Tony Busuttil in Bormla.
Their first exhibition will be a collective, titled A Midsummer’s Red Dream, and the opening night will be on 22nd June from 7pm onwards.
It features a collective of brilliant Maltese artists, with all works having one thing in common about them – the colour red.
The participating artists in this collective are Debbie Bonello, Darren Tanti, Antoine Farrugia, Clint Calleja, Davel Calleja, Sarah Calleja, Jo Dounis, Madeleine Gera, Rune Bo Jakobsen, Victor Agius, Andrew Borg, Henry Falzon, Johanna Barthet, Stephen Saliba, and Fabio Borg.

“The subject matter for the first exhibition at BOCO is bound only to these three inspiring and intriguing words. The exhibition is tied with the colour red, while the various artists were invited to express in vague or concrete ways an atmosphere of a dreamy summer, or… a contradiction to that,” Erixon wrote in the exhibition description.
“Red comes with the most eclectic range of meanings from the symbol of victories and nobility to sacrifice, danger, courage, heat, passion, sexuality, anger, love, and joy, amongst others.”
“The inspiration for the exhibition title comes from the first room situated on the ground floor at BOCO, numbered 181 – the Pantone colour code for the hue of red paint used in this room – which will be open along with its private terrace during the launch of the exhibition,” she said.
