One of the key venues in Art Moments, The Universal Sea’s Budapest Festival, will be the HybridArt Space. The space is newly owned by HybridArt Management, one of our core partners, who have teamed up with us bring you this festival. It has become a vibrant new home for Art Moments, an annual festival hosted in Budapest, and this year the focus of Art Moments 2018 will be devoted to The Universal Sea!
This promises really interesting results as the ethos behind Art Moments is to bring ‘cutting-edge contemporary art closer to the public, removing it from its conventional environment – the white box’, while our community of artists is similarly known for their provocative performance art and public engagement. The events will be challenging, informative, and free to the public!
The space will be used as, well: a ‘hybrid’ art space, and as such our organisers have a wide variety of ambitions for the venue.
What can we expect?
October 4th: Hackathon
The HybridArt Space will be open for the duration of the festival (September 15th- October 30th), but The Universal Sea’s stint in this exciting venue kicks off on the October 4th with a hackathon. Hybridart Space, (1052 Budapest, Galamb u. 6) from 2 to 6 pm.
In this event, we will bring together our core partners, our artists in residence, and hopefully as many students from the nearby area and interested members of the public as possible. Our aim is to reach out and to reflect together on what exactly it might take to rouse the people in our world. How can we get people to start taking the issue of plastic waste as seriously as it deserves to be taken? We will consider strategies to promote the engagement of the public in our own project events, as well as how to encourage people to take their own action.
October 5th-13th: ‘The Universal Sea: Pure or Plastic?!’ Exhibition
On October 5th we will be touring our art and science exhibition ‘The Universal Sea: Pure of Plastic?!’ in the HybridArt Space. This features the striking and deeply challenging artworks from the top 100 artists in our First Open Call, work from our incredibly talented artists in residence, the artworks of the artists who participated in the Second Open Call, as well as an area showcasing information about the plastic epidemic, and innovative solutions from our community.

The evening will start with a performance by Robertina Šebjanič, who as an artist in residence focuses on underwater pollution. Workshops by Ewa Markiewicz are intended to invite the public to start taking action in a playful way.
The exhibition features work by artists such as Frankie Moughton-Small, who is one of our artists in residence. Her work consists of ornate jewellery made from plastic debris and up-cycled fishnets, which results in ornaments that are at once compelling and disturbing. Our resident artist
Liina Klauss will also be showcasing her work. She creates large compositions from plastic waste collected on beaches, and her works are often made interactively with local schools, children, and adults.
So make sure you visit the Hybridart Space to see some really interesting and important work!
