Scheherazade

(2019)
exhibition design for solo show by artist Charlie Cauchi
in collaboration with Jon Banthorpe
at Valletta Contemporary, Valletta, Malta


Welcome to 1970s Soho. Welcome to the Scheherazade nightclub where everything is for sale. Step right up for an evening of debauchery, of beauty, of brutality and an introduction to a Maltese criminal underworld that makes bank from bodies. For her solo show at Valletta Contemporary, artist Charlie Cauchi drew from the histories of a violent episode in London’s club scene, where Maltese vice bosses laid on entertainment for partygoers that came at a high price for those entangled in its production.
