Article Featured Image

Malta’s art scene, as small and tight-knit as it is, is flourishing, with more and more events to satisfy your needs for artistic catharsis.

Here’s a list of events to check out this week.

1. CRUX

In CRUX, contemporary painter Tina Mifsud is showcasing five of her most recent works in a site-specific installation in the heart of Birkirkara.

Curated by architect Andrew Borg Wirth, the exhibition showcases some of Mifsud’s works that are visceral, colour-rich, and definitely not to be missed.

2. The Room

The Room is the first solo exhibition by emerging realist artist Max Farrugia depicting a collection of works born from two contradicting realities: solitude and freedom.

The exhibition comprises a series of intimate works in the style of the old Masters of painting. It’s at Gracy’s Supper Club in Valletta, but hurry, it closes on 18th February.

3. Ghost Stories

One of Malta’s busiest art spaces is at it again – Mqabba’s Kamra Tal-Fuq is back with “Ghost Stories”, a solo show by Alfie Gatt.

Gatt uses the ghost as a vessel of “numbness to everything that is happening outside one’s mind” in other words to become a ghost, to exist but not live, in a personal purgatory.

Head down south to check out Gatt’s works, curated by Melanie Erixon, in watercolours and oils.

4. Affect Aliens

Multi-disciplinary artist Florinda Camillieri will be spearheading the Mill’s first SPRING event with a solo exhibition called Affect Aliens.

The exhibition explores “points of encounter between human and more-than-human bodies as sites of creative potential” through collaborative work involving digital media, polaroid photography, clay sculptures, and live performance.

Involving artists and researchers Sarah Bonaci, Romeo Roxman Gatt, and Kamila Wolszczak, the show is bound to pack a punch.

Curated by Elyse Tonna and managed by Raffaella Zammit, Affect Aliens opens this Friday 17th February.

5. Is-City

Is-City is an exhibition commemorating one year from the passing of Charles ‘City’ Gatt, the Maltese Master of jazz, who was also a painter.

Curated by Austin Camillieri, the show opens tomorrow, Thursday 16th February in Valletta.
