Malta Stock Exchange art exhibition – call to visual artists

As part of the activities of the EU Presidency 2017 in Malta, the Malta Stock Exchange will be organising a collective art exhibition lasting some six weeks. The exhibition opening will be held at its premises, the Garrison Chapel, Castille Square, Valletta on 10 March.

This year’s thematic art exhibition investigates notions of connectivity. According to the Exchange’s Art Curator Adrian Azzopardi: “We are connected as workers, citizens and consumers and during leisure. From participating in the Maltese pjazza way of life to the notion of the networked-self, everyone and everything relates to everything else, as everything is connected in one way or the other. Connectivity could be obvious and bold but could also be defiantly subtle. The concern in this theme is not instruments and infrastructures but acknowledging the phenomena of what networks say about us and about how connectivity has captured our life and imagination.”

Visual artists based in Malta wishing to participate in this unique event are invited to submit work related to the theme of connectivity. The application for submissions to be exhibited will close on 10 February, 2017. For further details on applications, terms and conditions and any updates, please refer to the Malta Stock Exchange website: https://www.borzamalta.com.mt/ar ticle-call_to_visual_artists_2017.
