For Want of (not) Measuring hija wirja eklettika li tinvestiga r-rwol tal-kejl fl-arti u kif nipperċepixxu d-dinja ta’ madwarna. Hija tiġbor flimkien grupp ta’ artisti lokali u internazzjonali biex jesploraw l-użu problematiku u poetiku tas-sistemi u l-kejl. In-narrattiva tal-wirja tieħu approċċ metafiżiku biex tisfrutta l-użu korporali ta’ dak li nqisu bħala l-apparat tal-kejl. Il-proġett jisfida l-fehma tradizzjonali tal-kejl bħala għodda purament oġġettiva għall-fehim. Minflok, jesplora l-modi suġġettivi u problematiċi li bihom jista’ jintuża l-kejl, partikolarment fir-rigward tal-ħin, l-ispazju, u l-memorja. Il-wirja tutilizza diversi forom ta’ arti, inkluż it-tpinġija u l-pittura, l-iskultura, il-fotografija, installazzjonijiet, films, u ħsejjes.

Imqiegħed fil-kuntest ta’ esebizzjoni li tesplora r-rwol tal-kejl fl-arti u li tqajjem mistoqsijiet dwar l-oġġettività tal-metriċi, dan l-avveniment jiġbor flimkien lill-awturi tal-esejs tal-katalgu, lil Prof. Ing.

For Want of (not) Measuring is an eclectic exhibition that investigates the role of measurement in art and how we perceive the world around us. It brings together a group of local and international artists to explore the problematic and poetic use of systems and measurement. The exhibition’s narrative takes a metaphysical approach to exploit the corporeal use of what we deem to be the measuring apparatus. The project challenges the traditional view of measurement as a purely objective tool for understanding. Instead, it explores the subjective and problematic ways in which measurement can be used, particularly in relation to time, space, and memory. The exhibition utilises various art forms, including drawing and painting, sculpture, photography, installation, film, and sound.
Catalogue Launch: For Want of (not) Measuring
Date: 30th April 2026
Time: 7:00pm
Venue: Spazju C 3
The catalogue launch of For Want of (not) Measuring will extend the exhibition into a live public conversation around its central concerns: measurement not simply as a neutral instrument, but as a way of perceiving, ordering and testing the world. Framed by an exhibition that investigates the role of measurement in art and questions the supposed objectivity of metrics, the event brings together catalogue essayists Prof. Ing. Emmanuel Francalanza, Dr Clive Zammit and Alex Zammit to approach the theme from scientific, philosophical and curatorial perspectives. They will be joined by curator Vince Briffa and the artists present for the launch, opening the discussion towards a broader exchange with the audience around the ideas, tensions and lived realities that the exhibition sets in motion.
