No:31 “… the act of acquiring art is part of the art piece’s own story.” - JOANNA DELIA M A R I A M U S C AT
COLLECTING IN THE NOW A Conversation with Joanna Delia
Errare humanum est Exploring the galleries of Spazju Kreattiv and soaking in CO-MA’s work has a strange effect. The artist successfully makes the viewer ponder our personal attributions to each of the seven sins; how would we represent our topic of scrutiny? What visuals, what qualities do we associate with each, and how would they become manifest in tangible form? This element alone, inducing a highly unexpected outcome, of a most personal if not intimate nature. >> Read the review by Lisa Gwen of the exhibition Every Saint has a Past & Every Sinner Has a Future by CO-MA at Spazju Kreattiv, on page 18.
Contemporary art collector and local patron Dr. Joanna Delia lives passionately. We sit across from each other in her home cum gallery - or is it the other way round? - to chat about her world and her art. We are literally surrounded by it, sitting on it. No podiums, no screens, art is within arm’s reach in every room. It becomes apparent very quickly that there is a bigger love pushing Joanna’s drive to collect - a love for the story behind things. >> Page 23.
