A Sense Of Place: Generations Of Artists Reimagine Space

“A Sense of Place”, curated by Professor Charlene Vella, is a collective exhibition that brings together the work of ten artists whose practices variously interrogate, celebrate, and reimagine the notion of place.
The exhibition features a balance of established and emerging voices in the Maltese art scene. The exhibiting artists include well-known names such as Kenneth Zammit Tabona, Peter Quinn, Andrew Diacono, Henry Falzon, and Johanna Wells Barthet, as well as artists with one or two solo exhibitions under their belt, such as Marlene Gouder and Mariam De Giorgio.
Notably, the exhibition also includes the work of three recently graduated artists from the University of Malta’s Department of Art and Art History’s Fine Arts programme: Kathrine Maj, Emma Incorvaja, and Mireille Vella. This offers audiences an opportunity to witness new artistic talent at the very start of their careers.
Working across various media, each artist responds to the theme of place — be it personal, historical, geographic, or imagined — creating a dynamic interplay of perspectives. From lyrical landscapes and urban impressions to explorations of identity rooted in environment, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on how a sense of place continues to shape artistic expression across generations.
The exhibition will be available for viewing until the end of August at The Phoenicia Malta’s Palm Court Lounge.
