A further strand of the initiative focuses on the Foundation’s own institutional archive where we are currently digitising documentation, photographs, catalogues, exhibition material, and administrative records connected to its past projects and exhibitions. The first major archive currently being processed is the landmark Maltese Prehistoric Art exhibition of 1996, allowing important material connected to one of Malta’s most significant cultural exhibitions to be preserved, researched, and revisited.

Through this work, the Foundation aims to safeguard not only objects and collections, but also the histories of exhibitions, curatorial research, institutional memory, and cultural production in Malta🤝📚

Our focus is to document the Maltese Modern Period (20th century). Materials of interest include sketchbooks, drawings, notebooks, photographs and slides, letters, manuscripts and diaries, as well as film, audio, and video. We also consider posters, invitations, catalogues, press cuttings, and documents relating to art education, teaching practices, craft, and design 🤝📚

Victor Diacono was a Maltese sculptor, caricaturist and painter who primarily received recognition for his distinctive figurative sculptures. Stylistically, Diacono’s sculptures convey an atmospheric and poetic dimension, which together with the organic selective concealment of figures, defines Diacono’s sculptural output.

One of the principal strands of the project is the Maltese Modern Art Archive – an evolving archive focused on Maltese modern artists, their families, collections, exhibition histories, correspondence, and personal archives 🗂️🎨

A key part of this initiative is closely connected to the VP Gallery’s annual exhibition programme dedicated to major figures within Maltese modern art; each exhibition becomes an opportunity to preserve and digitise archival material connected to the artist in focus. Following the successful digitisation of archival material relating to Emvin Cremona, work is currently underway on the archive surrounding Gabriel Caruana. Alongside this, the studio also continues documenting and digitising works and material held within the VP Gallery’s own reserve collection 🖼️💾

The project is carried out in collaboration with artists’ families, private collectors, researchers, and institutions, helping preserve not only artworks themselves but also the stories, relationships, exhibition histories, and wider cultural networks surrounding them 🤝📚
