In a context of togetherness, these four artists are exploring a poetic recontextualisation of sorts, in a warlike post-pandemic world that is thirsty for an aesthetic recalibration.
Context, a Times Events and Marie Gallery5 collaboration, hosted by Bureau Iniala, curated by Joseph Agius, brings together four Maltese artists who need no introduction. This exhibition is a cohesion of four artistic languages; the artists were not limited thematically, and this was an intentional curatorial decision.
“Context is key” goes the cliched axiom. One wonders if such a saying has any relevance in a contemporary world that has somewhat lost its orientation, amid man-induced and natural cataclysms. Context gives purpose and order through a standardisation of parameters that are supposed to have withstood the test of time. However, recent events have altered that dynamic and artistic expression has seen changes, some of which meant to shock, others conceived out of a requirement to be heard and seen at all costs.
