Open call for a curatorial team for the Malta Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2019

Updated: 20 April 2018

Following the success of the Malta Pavilion at the Biennale di Venezia 2017, Arts Council Malta is issuing an open call for a curatorial team to submit a project proposal for the Malta Pavilion.
The call is open to curatorial teams with a strong international curatorial track record; multi-national curatorial teams that include Maltese individuals in the team as well as Maltese artists will be favourably considered.
The Malta Pavilion is approximately 285 square metres with exposed brick walls. It is located at the Artiglierie in the Arsenale Area, which is the same location which hosted the Malta Pavilion during the 57th International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale in 2017. In 2015, during the 56th International Art Exhibition, this location hosted the Tuvalu Pavilion. This is a very central location in the Arsenale which sees hundreds of visitors every day.

In 2017, the Malta Pavilion garnered a host of high profile media accolades and acknowledgements, including coverage in prestigious titles such as The Observer, which listed it as one of the five best pavilions and The Culture Trip which also listed it as one of “The 10 National Pavilions You Can’t Miss at the Venice Biennale”.
The winning project will be selected by an independent jury of art professionals appointed by Arts Council Malta.

Deadline 16 May 2018
