As part of an ongoing series of interviews with the participating artists, TEODOR RELJIC speaks to Chiara Cassar and David Falzon, who will be competing with his counterparts at the exhibition for a month-long scholarship at the Youkobo Art Space in Tokyo, Japan in August, 2017 What would you say is sig- nificant about the Divergent Thinkers tradition, and how does it feel to be a part of it? Also, what do you think it con- tributes to the stature of your own work as a whole? Chiara Cassar: Divergent Thinkers is significant because it's an opportunity to showcase the work of young Maltese art- ists to the public. I feel very ex- cited to be a part of Divergent Thinkers because it focuses on the importance of the process of the artwork rather than the finished result. This allows for freedom to explore new ideas, materials and techniques. David Falzon: Divergent Thinkers is an excellent platform for upcoming artists who need to gauge themselves and put their skills or vision to the test. Be- ing part of this year's event has helped me improve my organi- sational skills, while constantly re-evaluating the art-making process and abiding to a specific time-frame. How did you interpret NAVI- GATE – this year's Divergent Thinkers theme – and what do you hope to communicate with your contribution to the exhibi- tion? Cassar: I interpreted this year's theme through the idea that we can navigate our memories Chiara Cassar: "We navigate our memories through objects" David Falzon: "My piece uses the game Battleship to comment on our role as consumers"
