‘‘GREEN CITY: FROM FLORIANA TO MDINA’’ A SOLO EXHIBITION BY RUNE BO JAKOBSEN

VENUE:

Palm Court Lounge, The Phoenicia Malta

DATE:

1st - 30th August 2023

ONLINE: www.runejako.com

This exhibition of a series of 2023 paintings by Danish and Maltese artist, sculptor and architect Rune Bo Jakobsen (b. 1975) was inspired by townscapes from Floriana to Mdina. 'Green City' focuses on the environmental issues that we are facing in our ever expanding urban landscapes. Squinting one's eyes seeking hope and potential, the plein air paintings portray spaces with emotion, capturing dappled light and reimagining a soft regenerative ambience. A dreamy space that could be, future or past. Whilst the paintings may seem to be pretty pictures, in a subliminal way there is an important urgent message: We can choose to make Malta green.

Aside from offering such a fantastically versatile shopping experience for people of all ages, lifestyles, and budgets, there are many other note-worthy points that give this mall its unique status as Malta’s retail jewel in the crown – and that includes its location and history.

The Point Shopping Mall is located mere metres from Tigné Point; a small peninsula that played a big part in Malta’s history including the Great Siege back in 1565 and the British Rule between 1800 - 1964. In fact, the mall itself was built on the site where the former Tigné Barracks were, and one may appreciate the remaining architectural structures which are the arches that run along the mall and the square. Tigné Point overlooks the stunning Valletta Waterfront which is one of the island’s most beloved and iconic skylines. So, if you’re fascinated by the history of the area or are on a hunt for breathtaking views, you’re sure to be mesmerised upon your visit to The Point.

In summary, The Point is the perfect place to go to combine your love for shopping, food, gorgeous views (perfect for that #holidaymode selfie!), and a great time – not to mention that it’s fully air-conditioned, ticking all the boxes for the ultimate fun day out! A definite must for your to-do list during your stay in Malta.
