Hybrid Madrid

invited by SecondRoom, Antwerp. Group exhibition curated by Ludovica Cadario. The art historian Tamara Beheydt describes it like this: "The invitation that SecondRoom extends to Protoplast is exemplary of our core attitude of facilitating hospitality towards artists with a 'stubborn' and unique practice, with a tendency towards experiment. The exchange will also continue beyond the art fair, as the artist collective will have a presentation at our space in Antwerp on 23 August 2025. This way, we wish to build sincere and longlasting artistic connections beyond borders and with a wide audience."
