The body of work is vast – meaning that it will contain anything from flat works and installations to soundscapes and media works. 

“This exhibition invites ten architects who collectively started architecture school a decade ago to investigate trajectories of this narrative in their daily grind,” Borg Wirth wrote in the curatorial note.

“The group has come together and dissipated at different times across the past ten years, making their own growth an entropic process in itself.”

“In processes of construction, climate adaptation, planning, real estate, monument-making, and cultural production, architecture plays a mediating role,” he said.

“The architect is an agent of how time performs within built and unbuilt environments. Challenging the role of the architect and transposing it within the context of a contemporary art gallery, the group is presenting independent works that illustrate its collective understanding of where and how entropy persists – and when and why architecture needs to perform.”

The artists participating are Maria Azzopardi, Andrew Borg Wirth, Isaac Buttigieg, Lucia Calleja, Jean Ebejer, Suzi Mifsud, Tracey Sammut, Felic Micallef, Matthew Scerri, Nick Theuma, and Mike Zerafa. 

It will also feature a prologue with work by Norbert Francis Attard, Kane Cali, Katrina Galea, and young architect Andrew Galea.

The exhibition launches today, 2nd December, from 6pm until 10pm at Valletta Contemporary.
