ACTIVITIES

‘I Landed’ is an exhibition dedicated to the natural and cultural heritage of the Meditarenean Islands. The exhibition was simultaneously held on four different islands in local major art institutions. The purpose of “I Landed” is to raise awareness of the ecological issues the islands are facing, and to show the uniqueness of each location trough the artists eyes.

We are pleased to invite you to the first edition of MARLANDS - Mediterranean Islands BIENNALE opening. ‘I landed’ exhibition will take place firstly in Malta, Valletta and will continue in Mallorca, Sicily and Cyprus. ‘I landed’ is a series of experiences that allow you to discover the fragments that make up the identity of unique natural and cultural world, a Mediterranean island.

MARLANDS resident artists Olga Sabko, Max Fouchy, Edgar Sarin, Lucy Orta, and Klitsa Antoniou flew to the islands to develop their artwork prototypes. Their creative processes have begun with cultural and environmental immersion in each of the islands. This immersion has offered them the possibility of getting in contact with local cultural arts artists, that have introduced them to some of the materials and techniques they will use in their work.
