Unknown prescription : Abela, Balzan, Falzon

Abstract

Unknown prescription: we know there is a set of rules, a remedy, but at the same time we don’t know whether these are lost or are yet to be discovered. I have been following Justin’s and Mario’s practice for over a decade and I always thought their work developed symbiotically. I followed Charles’s practice with the same focus and always felt his aesthetics, albeit produced with a different set of tools, share their same matrix, one of a long European tradition. It is fascinating to see how each work, like the title, presents both readings whilst simultaneously fails to do so. [excerpt from the Curatorial note authored by Mr. Austin Camilleri]
