The MUCA is delighted to present 'The Future Is Stupid' - the first major survey exhibition dedicated to the career of renowned British painter Antony Micallef .
Celebrating more than twenty years of the artist's career, the exhibition brings together over fifty key works from Micallef's oeuvre, as well as a stunning new series of paintings created especially for the museum presentation.
"The Future Is Stupid" was developed in close collaboration with the artist as part of a year-long artist-in-residence program funded by the MUCA Foundation. Bringing together painting, sculpture, animation and politically engaged projects, the exhibition showcases an artist who continually pushes the expressive and critical potential of contemporary painting.
Alongside significant paintings from across his career, the exhibition will include a selection of rare bronze editions that have not been shown publicly since their presentation at the Royal Academy in 2008.
The exhibition also explores Micallef's wider creative practice through several significant interdisciplinary projects. These include the stunning animated film for Peter Gabriel's song Love Will Heal, produced in collaboration with Oscar-winning Aardman Animation Studio. The film will be shown in the MUCA Bunker and offers visitors an immersive encounter with Micallef's visual language.
