Three, two, one

No Time To Spare is a collective exhibition by the curator Elyse Tonna and the artists Rachelle Deguara, Claire Farrugia and Sheldon Saliba. 

It is the second collective forming part of the SPRING Artistic Programme for Emerging Artists 2022 to 2024 by the Gabriel Caruana Foundation and supported by Arts Council Malta. 

No Time To Spare is a collective call urging us to reflect upon the diverse forms of agency that shape our spaces, cultures and the interconnected world which extends beyond the human realm. Speculation can transform and challenge linear, dualistic understanding and redirect innovation practices. The title of the exhibition lends its name from a collection of essays by Ursula K. Le Guin, to whom the future was not merely a destination, but rather an encounter with otherness, suggesting other ways of looking both outwards and inwards. Selected works of Gabriel Caruana are also being exhibited, showing his advant guarde artistic dreams from unrealized monuments to artistic happenings, the selected works range from the late 1950s to the 2010s, showcasing 70 years of artistic speculations. 

The SPRING Programme of Emerging Artists by the Gabriel Caruana Foundation is a tailor-made artistic programme which adapts to the opportunities, challenges and needs of artists who are seeking to progress, develop or challenge their practice in different ways.

 Dates: 13th October 2023 to the 3rd of November 2023 at The Mill – Art, Culture and Crafts Centre, Birkirkara. 

The SPRING Artistic Programme for Emerging Artists by the Gabriel Caruana Foundation is partly supported by Arts Council Malta.
