Happy holidays my dear friends!
I have big news to share. I’m not just Jaer Mertens anymore. From now on, I will go by the name Mr. Big Shot Art Curator Mertens.
And that’s all because I organised a fully-fledged art exhibition about M.C. Escher in Valletta last week. This included:
- Official opening by the Dutch ambassador
- Collaboration with contemporary Maltese artists
- Giving a 45 minute lecture about Escher’s life and works
- Many fancy drinks with bubbles 🙂
This week I will give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look of this event, explaining exactly how I became an art curator.
