The historic Fort St Angelo is the impressive venue for an exhibition of contemporary art, entitled "Crossings- A Contemporary View".

Crossings is dedicated to the poetry of movement of people, information and ideas in the modern world. The exhibition used the medium of artistic installations, including video art projections, to explore the difficult role of the contemporary artist as a figure unshackled by the constraints of political, cultural and ideological divides.

The exhibition will be open to the public until 26 July. The public will be able to visit the exhibition from Monday to Saturday between 9am and 4pm.

After Malta, the exhibition will tour two other European venues, namely Espace Camille Claudel in Amiens (France) and the medieval castle of Colossi (Cyprus).

CROSSINGS is a project implemented within the 'CULTURE 2000' EU Programme, and is organised by an international partnership of cultural operators, including the Pierides Foundation (Cyprus), the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage (Malta), the University of Picardie Jules Verne (France), the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Italy) and the Foundation of the Hellenic World (Greece).

The curators of the exhibition are Yiannis Toumazis, director of the Pierides Foundation, and Prof. Andri Michael of the University of Amiens.
