MCA Membership
Malta Contemporary Art Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in October 2008.
Its aim is to promote groundbreaking contemporary culture with a focus on the visual arts; the program for 2009 offers challenging and stimulating high-calibre local and international exhibitions, performances, talks on visual arts, film, design, architecture, critical theory, as well as other events related to the arts.
MCA will support artists financially and will not charge any artist-fees for use of the space. The schedule was created based upon proposals and invitations. By becoming a member of MCA you will be supporting this space, as well as over a hundred artists and professionals annually.
The launch of MCA on the 4th December 2008 will consist of 9 Maltese artists from the artist group Start, who have in turn selected 9 younger artists to concurrently exhibit their works.
Artists to feature at the MCA 2009 include British Stuart Croft who works in film and has exhibited in major spaces around the world, and Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez from Germany who works with sculpture and collage and who was featured in an exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in New York. Collectives will include New German Painting, Female Video Artists from different countries dealing with ideas of territory, curated by Ruth Bianco, and an international show curated by Mark Mangion.
