The project Constellation Malta proposes a series of artistic interventions throughout the geography of the Maltese archipelago with the desire of creating fruitful dialogues between historical heritage, popular culture and contemporary art. Constellations are imaginary outlines that connect stars and/or celestial bodies to conform figurative and symbolic images in an attempt to understand our human condition in relation to the cosmos. As a receptacle for our intellectual, psychological and emotional projections, constellations shelter the need to find meaning in our presence in the world. Throughout the centuries, constellations have served as tools for orientation and navigation, both in a geographic and in an existential way.

Besides, recent scientific discoveries have shown that, among celestial constellations, there is a specific typology called “dark cloud constellations” which are formed by a magma of dense and impenetrable shadows of nebulae where new stars and matter is born. By associating the term Constellation with the name of Malta, certain locations in the Maltese archipelago will metaphorically become meaningful stars, nodes that will guide our journey through the physical and cultural topographies rediscovered by the creativity and the imagination of contemporary artists. The proposed route through configuration of archaeological sites, museums, churches, windmills, gardens, quarries or natural landscapes will outline a multi-site exhibition embedded in the geography of the Maltese archipelago. The dialogue between contemporary art and cultural heritage will enrich the conversation how we live together. By unveiling the meaning embodied by these new “stars”, the spectators will be invited to create their own paths of meaning.

]]> In 1985 Barcelona hosted the first Mediterranean Biennial, a multidisciplinary event which brought together works by young creators from this geopolitical area. Its aim was to foster new trends and consolidate the local circuits presenting and promoting emerging creative forms.The Mediterranean Biennial was organised by cultural associations and youth departments within a number of municipal councils. Participating cities included Bologna, Bari, Florence, Milan, Naples, Parma, Prato, Regio Emilia, Turin, Venice, Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Toulouse, Dubrovnik, Lubliana, Zagreb, Athens, Thessalonika, Cyprus and Tipasa.

The Biennial had its permanent headquarters in Barcelona during odd-numbered years (1985, 1987, 1989, 1991), and became a nomadic event during even-numbered years when it was held in Thessalonika (1986), Bologna (1988) and Marseille (1990). Rosa Martínez was the director of the Barcelona Biennial from 1988 until 1991 and gave the event fresh impetus by opening it up to confrontation between northern European artists and circuits. Over 500 creators from the fields of architecture, the plastic arts, film and video, design, photography, cartoons and comics, literature, fashion, music, theatre and dance took part in the 1989 Biennial. In 1991 the Barcelona project was cancelled because the city’s municipal council was focused on organising the 1992 Olympic Games. This marked the end of one of the most singular events of its kind, both in terms of its commitment to multidisciplinarity and to boosting intercity cultural networks.

Architects such as David Chipperfield, writers such as Javier Cercas, photographers such as Erwin Olaff and visual artists such as Juan Urrios, Eulalia Valldosera, Richard Venlet, Cathy de Monchaux and Antoni Abad took part in the Barcelona Biennial.
