The Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (MUCA) presents the exhibition "The Future Is Stupid" until 04 April 2027 – the first major retrospective exhibition dedicated to the career of the renowned British painter Antony Micallef.
The exhibition celebrates more than twenty years of the artist's career and brings together over fifty key works from Micallef's oeuvre as well as an impressive new series of paintings created specifically for the museum presentation. Together, these works offer a comprehensive overview of one of the most distinctive and influential painters of the early 21st century.
"The Future Is Stupid" was developed in close collaboration with the artist as part of a one-year Artist-in-Residence programme, supported by the MUCA Foundation. It offers a rare opportunity to experience the full range of Micallef's work. The exhibition combines painting, sculpture, animation and politically engaged projects and shows an artist who continually advances the expressive and critical potential of contemporary painting.
