HYBRID

Exploring the Intersection of Craft and Collaboration

Hybrid showcase displays individual and collective works of Artists in Residence at the Glasgow School of Art, who are reimagining, challenging, and expanding the notion of craft-making through innovative approaches. These contemporary craft-makers explore hybrid concepts and cross-cultural intersections using analogue and digital means of expression. This thoughtfully curated collection of individual and collective works amplifies the relevance of symbiotic relationships between the poetic and the linguistic, realism and surrealism, fluidity and statics, trauma and intimacy, and the cross-fertilisation of cultures through objects, jewellery, and textiles. Collaborations between artists bridge the gap between disciplines, sharing skills and techniques to create cohesive artworks. Hybrid is evidence of the interplay of dialogue through material and proposes alternative approaches in contemporary craft-making.
