maltatoday SUNDAY 11 MARCH 2018 32 This Week WHAT'S ON EXHIBITIONS UNTIL MARCH 29 Ħaġraisland Debut solo show by Isaac Azz- opardi held at the Malta Society of Arts, Palazzo De La Salle, Val- letta. Through the use of con- struction material, appropria- tion and rubbing techniques, the show revolves around three main references: Austin Camill- eri 's installation Stones from 1999, as Maltese contemporary art canon, Anselm Kiefer's ideas about art as alchemy and Mal- ta's changing urbanity. Opening hours are 08.30 – 19.00 (Mon- day to Friday); 08.30 – 13.30 (Saturday). UNTIL APRIL 21 Except for Access Only Exhibition by artist-architect Tom Van Maldaren at Malta Contemporary Art, Valletta. Malderen presents a series of objects that due to denomi- nations of scale, materiality and context sit somewhere be- tween sculptural objects and architectural models - at a juncture between the field of architecture and that of art. While many of the ref lections that have made their way in the exhibition can be traced back to architecture, they feel equally relevant and stimulat- ing when brought into an art context. Opening hours: Tues- day - Friday (13.00 – 18.00); Saturday 10.00 – 13.00.

MARCH 17-19 HUSH Original musical written and directed by Denise Mulhol- land, with music and lyrics by Luke Saydon held at the Manoel Theatre, Valletta and performed by Teatru Manoel Youth Thea- tre (TMYT). Gus Nightingale is a little boy from a very fa- mous musical family, but when his mother dies, all music is banned from his house. After he is dreadfully humiliated by The Maestro, Gus decides the safest option is to stop speaking and singing - in effect to HUSH! One day, Gus passes the old music shop and finds it open. Inside, he finds a girl called Clementine Pickles. Clementine shows Gus how it is possible to play beau- tiful music even on broken in- struments but as Gus is leaving, an evil stranger enters the shop, locks Clementine in a cello case, steals her voice & a precious ba- ton! This evil stranger uses the baton to extract sounds from everyone and everything, leav- ing the world a completely silent place. A hush has fallen. A plan unfolds. A voice is forgotten... Show times: 18.00 (March 17); 15.00 and 18.00 (March 18); 10.00 and 12.00 (March 19). The event is organised in collabo- ration with the Valletta 2018 Foundation.

Iglesias uses an early, labour intensive animation technique to create her videos. The artist composes thousands of individual drawings and collages on paper that she then documents in sequence to produce a sense of motion. Iglesias teases out the 360 degree gesture of drawing and video production, taking a look at the causal relationships between time, subjectivity and wonder. University of Malta Ring Road Races 7th edition of this annual road running event, in aid of Hospice Malta. The University races date back to as early as the 80s when University students would gather on the ring road for a showdown of the fittest. Fast-forward 30 years or so and the races have come a long way. Last year was the biggest event yet and managed to raise €3,150 for Hospice Malta.
