STRANGERS

4 LECTURE SESSIONS Part II

A GLITCH IN TIME

Venue : Online

Dates : Launched on 4th December 2004

Click here to launch 'A Glitch In Time'

A few months after Merely a Stain, Scaremongering.net was all set to launch another collaborative exhibition. However, a different approach was taken this time around. Rather than having an audience reach a physical setting to experience ‘A Glitch in Time’, the exhibition was to be made available online. Revolving around the concept of time it featured a new item every hour on the hour in a virtual space. The twelve artists working on the exhibition were assigned a particular hour of the day and produced one item for the morning phase and another for the night phase of that particular hour. The visitor had the opportunity to look at new material according to which time of day he/she visits the online exhibition.

MERELY A STAIN

Venue : Bar Karoo, Valletta

Dates : 30th June - 3rd July 2004

Click here to launch 'Merely A Stain'

Marely a Stain, our second exhibition, featured 8 local and 2 foreign artists. It was held at the little known Bar Karoo, Valletta, and was spread over 3 days. Merely A Stain encompassed a variety of different art forms, such as paintings, digital artwork, music, sculpture and photography. Scaremongering.net created a recognizable whole by linking everything together by means of literature. Local music act Spooky Monkey specifically wrote a soundtrack for the event, which was released as an album on CD. On the 3rd of July, the exhibiting space had to be transformed into a 'club' for Rob Hall (of Skam records fame) to play alongside Owen Jay and The Chemist. Scaremongering.net members recall this event as being a breakthrough in the local art scene and have a lot of good memories from this period.

4 LECTURE SESSIONS

Venue : YMCA Valletta

FILM NIGHTS
