maltatoday SUNDAY 15 APRIL 2018 32 This Week WHAT'S ON EXHIBITIONS UNTIL APRIL 17 Phnom Penh: The Struggling Smiles Exhibition and book launch by photographer Jacob Sammut at the Malta Postal Museum, Archbishop Street, Valletta. Ex- hibition launch took place on April 6. 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 denomina- tions of scale, materiality and context sit somewhere between sculptural objects and architec- tural models - at a juncture be- tween 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 stimulating when brought into an art context. Opening hours: Tuesday - Friday 13:00 – 18:00; Saturday 10:00 – 13:00. UNTIL MAY 2 Terrae Exhibition of works by Victor Agius at Iniala5 Galleries, Old Treasury Street Valletta. Agius examines the formless matter proper to his own experience of the environment – either ran- domly or carefully selected sites with their distinctive ecologi- cal and archeological features – which all finds its roots in the earth or soil-derived organic materials (raw clay, for instance, beside natural pigments, oils and acrylics). This has allowed him to produce a body of work through which to ref lect upon the subject of human existence in general and the limits of his own exist- ence in particular.
