Arts Council Malta presents the Malta Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia @labiennale Working through mythology, cinematic illusion and political resistance, three artists and curator create a space that challenges certainties and comes to verge on the hallucinatory. Meaning repositions itself, time revolves and resolves, while hope sparkles at dawn. No Need To Sparkle; Experiments in Love and Revolution is a pavilion for our times, neither declamatory nor triumphant, but whose meaning dematerialises as quickly as it takes shape.
