Friday Talks #3
Archive & Memory
The VP Gallery is picking up where it left off with the Friday Talks this 26th of June at 18:30. For the third session, the Gallery invites co-founder and head archivist at Magna Żmien Andrew Pace, and audiovisual archivist at the National Archives of Malta, Sabrina Calleja Jackson, to delve into archives, artistic legacies, digitisation, and contemporary approaches to documentation and memory.
Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti took over the Victor Pasmore collection in 2015 from the Polverista Gallery, bringing to light the Maltese Modern Art movement and Pasmore’s instrumental influence on its direction. In 2020 it became the custodian of Pasmore’s works further to an agreement with the Victor Pasmore Foundation. The following year, in 2021, the Foundation transformed the former APS Headquarters at 275, St Paul Street, Valletta into a state-of-the-art gallery that would house the Victor Pasmore collection.
Nowadays, Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti manages the Victor Pasmore Gallery which aims to conserve the artist’s legacy through an engaging range of exhibits, events and programmes showcasing the work of Pasmore and his Maltese peers. Furthermore, the Gallery is dedicated to researching, assisting and participating in the realisation of further studies into Pasmore’s work.
