A special €20 ticket grants visitors access to seven heritage sites around Malta and Gozo which are part of Valletta 2018’s closing multi-site exhibition, Constellation Malta.

The exhibition opened on the 13th October and will close its doors on the 9th December 2018.

Curated by Rosa Martinez — who was also the first female director of the prestigious Venice Biennale — Constellation Malta is one the largest exhibitions on the Valletta 2018 European Capital of Culture Programme, featuring the work of 11 renowned local and international artists.

As the name suggests, Constellation Malta takes the shape of a constellation across the Maltese Islands, bringing painting, sculpture, embroidery, photography, video, light and sound installations, performances and site-specific interventions to prominent heritage sites, community venues, and public spaces across the Maltese Islands.

These different artforms are exhibited across 8 sites in Malta and 2 in Gozo: Fort St Elmo, the Church of St Mary Magdalene and the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta, Tarxien Temples, Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra Visitor Centre in Qrendi, the crypt at St Catherine’s Parish Church in Żejtun, The Arches in Senglea, the National Museum of Natural History in Mdina, Ġgantija Visitor Centre and Ta’ Kola Windmill in Xagħra, Gozo.

The list of world famous artists in the contemporary art industry, includes Marina Abramović, Chiharu Shiota, Forensic Oceanography and Architecture, Kyung-Jin Cho, Austin Camilleri, Yoshitomo Nara, Saskia Calderón, Eulalia Valldosera, and Tania Berta Judith. The exhibition also sees the participation of the Malta Fancy Poultry and Pigeon Club as well as a collection of anonymous photographs portraying ‘readymades’ in Malta.
