hybrida.space is an art/curatorial initiative launched by artists Giorgos Tsiongas (GR) & Joar Torbiörnsson (SE) in 2021, focusing on creating virtual/physical ground & open-ended curatorial frameworks, where artists can develop and show new work. They see a growing need for art practitioners to engage in an open, playful, transparent, and non-hierarchical exchange with one another, and to create fluid boundaries between different roles such as curators, organisers, and audience. As hybrida.space, they are seeking ways to facilitate this need by bringing creative individuals together and creating constellations, in which artistic freedom and experimentation are key components. Hence, their working logic follows the path of a curatorial and artistic experiment: a wager pushing the boundaries of what really makes a residency plan or an art exhibition. They are motivated by the question: how can one generate and sustain experimental ways of working in the art field? As an artist-driven initiative, they strive to offer the opportunity for peers in different stages of their careers to connect and to develop work under the following beneficial circumstances: they are given the freedom to experiment and an opportunity to create and display their work in an alternative context. Moreover, they get a chance to expand their (international) network and open up to new audiences. They also believe that artists should always receive fair pay for their work. They favor an open and experimental approach in regard to curation, collaboration, and making exhibitions. One that is all-inclusive in terms of medium, mode of production, nationality, gender, and ideology. They endorse collaborations based on mutual respect and meaningful exchange, starting from the common drive to create and reflect.
