Irregularity

Abstract

When one considers the rich interplay of etymological meaning-making between the noun-title and the works presented, one cannot help but notice an interesting play on the title of JP Migneco's exhibition, Irregularity, which makes a clear reference to a contemporary reality that is also deeply rooted in the country from which he is originally from, Malta. In the early 14th century, the term irregularity originally related to a violation of Church regulations governing the admission to clerical office. The term was derived from the Old French irregularité and the Medieval Latin irregularitas, both of which stemmed from the Latin word irregularis, meaning not regular.
