| Abstract: | XIV is an exhibition by Matthew Galea and Aaron Bezzina. The show was held at Gallery Last Touch in Mosta. It featured seven works by each artist. The artists themselves acted as co-curators. This text focuses on the work of Matthew Galea. Galea presented a body of work titled amplified sculpture. These are steel sculptures fabricated to be musical instruments. Some pieces incorporate stone, wood, or glass. A catalogue accompanied the exhibition. It was designed as the only collaborative artwork. The catalogue was deliberately cheeky in tone. It acted as a caricature of a traditional exhibition catalogue. It featured absurd texts and descriptions. Together, these elements formed a cohesive artistic statement. The exhibition explored the boundaries between sculpture and sound. It also questioned the conventions of presenting art. |
