An archive of TangentProjects: 2008 - 2012
TangentProjects originated out of the collective desire of three artists to create an independent platform for collaboration and project development. By circumventing the structures of the mainstream gallery scene, it acted as a starting point and trajectory for exploring ideas and finding ways to bring them into being.

Borderless collaboration
The web has made the world a very small place; the art world in particular. Unconfined by geographical boundary, it offers a myriad of possibilities for artistic dialogue and exchange. To that end, we sought opportunities for developing alternative methods of presenting work, often outside the confines of the conventional gallery scene, as a means of understanding, producing and appreciating art and its varied meanings in different contexts.
