Biaggio Steps, La Velletta , Malta
The final exhibition of a workshop with Maltese artists that took place in the "Biagio Steps" storage rooms of the old fortress of La Velleta.
The Biagio Steps had been used in the past as an examination center for schools.
During the workshop the artists were invited to do works answering a series of exercises while respecting two restrictions: they could not manually construct the works themselves and the works had to fit inside a box measuring 60x60x60cm.
A tunnel was built through the rooms restricting the visitor's movement to its interior only allowing certain fragments of the enveloping building to be seen. At the end the tunnel extended to the outside of the building where it ended in an observation room from where one could peek outside through a narrow slit.
The boxes containing the exercises were then attached to the walls of the tunnel. The artists that participated in the workshop were Francesca Balzan, Austin Camilleri, Celia Borg Cardona, John Grima, Monica Spiteri, Priscilla Griscti, Margaret Farrugia, Patrick Fenech and Irene Zammit.
