About Tangent Projects
Tangent Projects is a curatorial initiative set up to work with artists on site-responsive exhibitions and projects.
With a desire to add multiplicity to the current art archetype, Tangent Projects endeavours to showcase exemplary works in a variety of different media and platforms - including publications, exhibitions, performances and on-line commissions.
In offering the opportunity for digressions to be pursued, ideas and processes that might normally have been discarded in favour of the main discourse will have the potential to reach a conclusion. Without a commercial bias and with experimentation encouraged, Tangent Projects invites artists to explore the diversions and deviations within their artistic practice.
In simple terms, to give artists the leeway to "go off on a tangent".
Tangent Projects was originally founded in November 2015 as a nomadic project, however, in early 2019, Tangent Projects became a not for profit cultural association under Tsering Frykman-Glen’s guidance and moved into its own artspace in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat.
Tangent Projects is now an independent artspace with the remit of not only offering an exhibition space for artists to experiment with their practice but also a space to act as a counterpoint to the current gallery model by actively seeking to redress and challenge inequality within the arts by exhibiting work by artists that are all too often marginalised.
Within the artspace, there are 7 affordable artist studios and a small art gallery/project space. The gallery opened in June 2019.
The current long term resident artists and association members are Leyli Alakbarova, Rozalina Burkova, Julia Cella, Agustina Fioretti, Ajda Kara, Roshni Kavate, Agnes Essonti Luque, Berthe Essonti Luque, Elin Lindecrantz, Cristina Reid and Tanya Zommer.
At the moment we are also joined by studio residency artists Juan Blanco and Kenichi Ishiguro, and short term residents Jessy Boon Cowler and Sergei Nemudrov.
The board members are Tsering Frykman-Glen (Parodi), Lizette Nin and André Parodi.
