Your photo with Marina

Sasha Falcke

Inspired by the 'super-dolls' that roam Puerta del Sol – such as Gorillas, Mario Bros and Mickey Mouse – Sasha Falcke creates a costume with a large head featuring the face of Marina Abramović. Walking around the Hybrid fair greeting and dancing for visitors, Falcke takes on the role of these street characters to launch a scathing critique: today, the artist's name and surname seem to matter more than the work itself. Her action highlights an art market that behaves like a child in front of their favourite character, eagerly chasing photos and autographs.

OBLIQUO

Fernando Baena, Clara Abi Nader, Ilaria di Carlo, Carlos S. Peña / Karlst, Petra Montoro, Stefani Byrd, Francisco Ruiz de Infante, Miguel Rozas Balboa, Isabel Coixet and DEMOCRACY

OBLIQUO proposes a continuous journey in vertical format where the best of international video art invites visitors to move between contemplation and interaction.

Desllegar (Música háptica nº 1)

Ruth Abellán y Arturo Moya Villén
It is a sound installation that proposes a listening experience set and corporeal on the hotel staircase. The work begins in the skin. Each section activates a tactile listening through the wooden handrail, while a second audible layer moves in space, disorienting any stable direction. Both layers articulate an exercise that involves the body and the ear and invites the visitor to build their own experience based on their movements. The ladder, usually conceived as a place of passage, is transformed into a delay device in which ascending and descending are no longer opposite actions but overlap physically and symbolically. To escape is to persist in the conflict, to sustain the transit until you inhabit it, to last.

Taiwan in Focus: Hybrid Tour. The Tide of Taiwan: Bodily Sensations and Imagination in Geological Faults

Presented by: Hsing-Yu Liu. Artists: Mei-Fang Chiang, Yu-Jung Chen, Han-Sheng Chen, Yu-Ning Yang, Hsing-Yu Liu, Yi-Chun Lo.

An invitation to discover the creative energy of Taiwan, featured country in this edition of Hybrid Art Fair. Join us on a special tour of the space dedicated to its artists, where we will explore projects that engage with identity, experimentation and new narratives in contemporary Taiwanese art. A unique opportunity to get to know the creators, their processes and the stories behind each work first-hand.

Taiwan is located at the junction of tectonic plates where ocean currents converge. Earthquakes, typhoons, monsoons and tides form a recurring natural rhythm that is, at the same time, always unpredictable.

These unstable forces not only influence the landscape, but also profoundly affect bodily perception, lived experience and collective memory. This colloquium invites artists to share how, in such geographical and climatic conditions, bodily experiences, sensory memories and natural phenomena are transformed into a creative language. How does art respond to fracture, uncertainty and rebirth? The debate will focus on creative forms such as landscape, materiality, sound and movement. Through them, we propose to reflect on how an 'island' can become a force similar to the 'tide': not as a territory that passively endures change, but as an active agent in the generation of art.

Lavatio

Bambi

«Lavatio» It is a queer ritual. An invitation to the process of constructing and maintaining dissident identity. Using wigs as the main element and symbol, washing, combing and drying them, Bambi aims to highlight the invisible structural work involved in living in society when one lives outside the norm.

Aquário

Angella Conte

The hotel's windows are transformed into a large urban aquarium visible from the street. The façade functions as a poetic device for contemplation and interaction with the urban space.

Art Olympism – Sugar × Power × Workout

Lo Yi-Chun
Artist Lo Yi-Chun works with sugarcane fibre to mould and manufacture gymnastic apparatus, exploring the connection between work in the sugar industry and contemporary fitness culture. The work reveals the dual nature of sugar: on the one hand, a sensual pleasure; on the other, a commodity historically linked to trade, war and colonialism. During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to experience these unique gym equipment first-hand, appreciating both their historical dimension and their artistic value. By showing the interconnection between physical movement and the history of the sugar industry, the proposal offers a new perspective for understanding the impact of globalisation on everyday life and local culture, highlighting the link between history and contemporary experience.

Elástica Fanzine - Elástica Bookshop

Repeat a corner

Elisa Miravalles
An unprecedented, site-specific action that activates a corner of the hotel's layout as a spatial score. The artist delimits a minimal geometry that governs a rhythmic sequence of tasks, guided by brief verbal instructions reproduced by a random voice system and by the logic of the delimited space. Little by little, the actions overlap, producing delays, contradictions and doubts, generating a logical gap where error and memory transform repetition. It is a piece that dialogues with postmodern choreography and spatial notation—in particular with research initiated by Trisha Brown—from a contemporary perspective.

Platten Social

In Platten Social we believe in the transformative power of music. Young people with disabilities take the booth to put into practice what they have learned in our DJ classes, sharing talent, illusion and improvement. A space to celebrate inclusion, break barriers and live culture from diversity.

Origami Exhibition

Pedro Núñez 
Using different paper formats, Núñez explores their possibilities through folding, generating volumes and shapes, creating works that are grouped into open series in sustained and constant development. The artist shows us his procedures live. It seems like magic, but it is only art, the art of folding and unfolding.

Talk:

"Exceptionality in art: The economic reality of visual artists."

Rafael Peñalver Andrés. President of AVAM.

The visual arts sector in Spain lacks real, verified knowledge about its own structure: there is no reliable data on the number of professionals, working conditions, taxation or the market. The vagueness of the concept of "professional artist" and structural precariousness make it difficult to include them in the legal and economic frameworks applicable to other self-employed workers. The art market, which is deeply opaque and poorly regulated, makes it impossible to measure its real impact and leaves most creators outside institutional and commercial circuits. Although official censuses speak of some 24,000 artists, the real figure is much higher, but only a minority manage to make a living from their work. The discontinuity of activity, the lack of labour rights, the absence of specific public policies and poor practices in the sector consolidate a scenario of vulnerability that requires urgent reforms and an Artist's Statute that is truly adapted to reality.

Oxys of the soul

Blanca Abajo Alda – Sergio Estévez

Oxys of the soul opens up. A poetic action that proposes to approach the soul of the Oxys project through words and voice. The artists who make up the project activate the space through a choral reading, where poetry becomes the thread that ties together a complete sensory experience.
The action invites visitors to experience the exhibition through listening and emotion, guiding them towards the core of the project: that which unites them, that which sustains the work beyond the visible.

Talk:

Expanding artistic careers: visibility, collaboration and new professional balances

Moderator: José Luis Guijarro, with Rubén (Abstract) and Mercedes Bellido

An open conversation about how artists today build their careers in an increasingly hybrid context. The discussion will address the coexistence of relationships with galleries and other strategies for visibility and professional sustainability, such as collaborations with brands, cross-disciplinary projects, and the conscious use of communication tools. A space to reflect on new models of artistic careers that are more flexible and adapted to changes in today's cultural ecosystem.

MACHINE TENDENCY The machine / The tendency / The prelude: «This body was supposed to be mine»

Saúl Olarte y Juan Jiménez Gialó

«This body was supposed to be mine»Under this slogan and premise, Saúl Olarte and Juan Jiménez have designed a device that highlights the system of horizontal violence in which we feel immersed. A simple treadmill activated by the audience attending the performance, one body activating another and forcing it to dance. Faced with the observation of a greater power and the incessant music of the cyborg DJ, we ask ourselves... Who is to blame for so much pain? How easily can the game turn into horror? Will empathy or sadism win out? How long will this body endure before collapsing at the party of the world?

Talk:

Queer aesthetics and their impact on contemporary visual culture

Julio Pérez Manzanares

What is queer in today’s art? In this talk, the analysis of different manifestations linked to artistic and visual expressions of LGBTBIQ+ communities will be carried out. Through them, discussions will be held that involve the importance of aesthetic and identity phenomena among contemporary cultural dialogues, and the importance of establishing historical and critical paradigms tailored to approaches related to gender dissent and sexual identity.

Commented reading:

When the process ceases to be preliminary and becomes a work of art

Idoia Monton, Jo Milne, Charo Gálvez, Manuel Aramendia

AMAGATS proposes a commentary on the creative process understood as a form of artistic research and as a work in itself. The activity is based on process pieces—drawings, tests, studies, and experiments—by Idoia Montón, Jo Milne, Charo Gálvez, and Manuel Aramendia. The reading proposes two lines of research present in their practices: the process as a material, bodily, and structural experience, and the process as a space for thought, perception, and imagination.

Cosas locas

Marta Valverde

Marta develops her work in the gaps. She draws on autobiography to address issues such as precariousness, violence, work and the problem of representation from a feminist perspective. She plays with film imagery through live cinema and documentary, always seduced by hybridisation and impure forms.

Platten Social

Free performance inside

Pablo Alvez Artinprocess

An artist walks down the corridor with his head hidden inside a giant paper envelope. On the outside, the envelope says «FREE PERFORMANCES INSIDE». At times, the artist reveals his face to engage the audience and invite them to look inside the envelope, where images and timelines provide a simplified representation of the history of performance art. Through this portable archive, the artist pays tribute to the historical references that have shaped his current practice.

When art cannot fit on a single screen. Bodies, screens and frictions: contemporary art in the post-digital era

Modera: Nieves Correa con Rachel Lamot y Alejandra Gradis

Contemporary artistic practice takes place in a hybrid territory where body, technology, virtuality and physical presence constantly intersect. From screen-mediated performances to digitally native works that are activated in physical spaces, this talk offers a reflection on how post-digital languages are reconfiguring the artistic experience and modes of exhibition.
Key issues will be addressed, such as the meaning of "material" in a context permeated by digital technology and how these changes affect the production, circulation and reception of works within fairs and alternative spaces.

Drag Makeup Workshop ALTernar la mascarada: Alterities and Altocalcifilico

ALThaus Creative Collective in collaboration with CCC Quinta del Sordo

A creative gathering to explore the many possibilities of Drag/Cuir makeup, taking into account some references from our transvestite practice, different techniques of use and aesthetic influences (Club kid, Classic Drag, Visual effects, Distortion, Kabuki Theatre, among others).

We will then carry out a make-up practice based on the designs and compositions on the face explored by the participants. To conclude this workshop, we would like to propose a catwalk-style performance exercise, in which you can show off your make-up creations and accompanying looks, to be presented at the contemporary art fair.

ALThaus is a dissident artistic collective that emerged in Colombia in 2009, founded by Cristhian Rueda (ALTeridades) and Camilo Ortiz (ALTocalcifílico), currently residing in Madrid. Interested in Drag, Trans, Queer, Feminist and Dissident practices and discourses, they are interested in questioning their identity and identity as a concept, the construction of gender, power relations, migration, and decoloniality. At this intersection, ALThaus emerged as a creative niche focused on visual arts, performance, living arts, and design, forming a creative family with other creators who have joined in the desire to connect, weave, and recreate ourselves in our decision to alter the world.

Reservations are required. Maximum 15 people.

*We ask participants to bring their own make-up items to the workshop if they have them. Although we will have basic make-up available, we know that we can feel more comfortable with our own make-up.

Las MYNYMYNY

Las MYNYMYNY (Alba Tesias, Julia Ballesteros y Alba Cavero) They cross the space trying not to be seen. But their interest in gossip, their fascination with art, and their ostentatious costumes make this task impossible. The clown has never been so elegant, never had such refined style, and never been, or tried to be, so silent.

Oracle of creatures that do not yet exist

Valentina Bobbo, Direction and curatorship: Lu Martínez

Fluid creatures do not announce destinies or predict futures. This oracle responds to memory and creates possible utopias within the impossible. Voices emerge from poetic residue, collapse, the collective unconscious, imagination, and matter. Words, gestures, languages, and entities in transition speak to us from a non-linear time, where what does not yet exist already leaves its mark. The performance proposes a cross between ritual, visual art, mysticism, and science fiction.

Talk:

"Pronto llegará el día de mi suerte"

SELECTORMARX and Canal Gallery

"My lucky day will finally come" is a long-term documentary project developed by Marcos Jiménez, known as Selectormarx, an advertising and documentary photographer with a degree in Journalism and a Canon Pro Master since 2022. His career has focused on constructing visual narratives linked to urban culture, Madrid folklore and the city of Madrid as a symbolic and social space. For more than two decades, Selector Marx has documented the evolution of hip-hop in Madrid from within, combining his experience with a journalistic eye and photographic archive as tools of memory. This talk offers a direct encounter with the artist, who will explain in first person how he has constructed this visual and human narrative, addressing the aesthetic, social and industrial changes of the movement towards urban music with Madrid as the backdrop. A space to reflect on the value of archives, lived experience and images as a form of knowledge and cultural legacy.

El ecologismo de los pobres

Diego G.
"El ecologismo de los pobres" ("The Ecologism of the Poor"), is a deep exploration on subalternances from the thought of Antonio Gramsci. The research addresses historical migrations linked to water scarcity through a multidisciplinary approach that unites ecology and ceramics. Using the reconstruction and recycling of barrels and bottles, the work works as a metaphor for the human footprint and the vital importance of water. These pieces, arranged in columns or activated by performance, denounce the ecosocial crises and extractivism, placing artistic practice as a space of resistance and sustainable consciousness.

Collective action:

Mañas de agarre

Eva Pintiado

"Mañas de agarre" is a mediation exercise initiated by curator Eva Pintiado in the form of a cross-disciplinary, hybrid reading club. Like the terrero, which is the place where the sport of Canarian wrestling is practised, room 220 of the Petit Palace Santa Barbara hotel will be transformed into a relational device that ceases to be a private space and becomes a place of friction and proximity, where the viewer not only observes but also actively participates in the construction of meaning. Based on publications such as photobooks and books of fiction and poetry, the mediation will establish direct relationships between different texts and the works of the artists invited by Margullo Books to this edition of the fair, activating the concepts of the exhibition from multiple perspectives. The exchange of ideas, impressions and readings broadens the meanings of the pieces and places the public at the centre of the process, reinforcing the participatory nature of the project and highlighting the terrero as a tool and space for thinking about new ways of inhabiting, gathering and generating community in the contemporary context of art.

Collective action - Cloud Encounter: Imagine Being a Cloud

Seren Ilkdogan, Andrea Grieder

Cloud Encounter is a participatory experience that invites visitors to engage in a poetic and physical dialogue with the clouds: companions we see almost every day, but whom we rarely stop to truly encounter.

During these 20 minutes, accompanied by the artists, participants are invited to choose a small photograph of a cloud and engage in a gentle imaginative process, guided by simple instructions. Through drawing, writing or visual exploration, the image is transformed into an aesthetic response rather than an interpretation. As the responses are gathered on the collective cloud wall, people are invited to observe the diversity of expressions and perceive how their own cloud finds its place among many others.

This encounter opens up a playful space where perception, imagination and bodily sensation come together. By momentarily 'becoming' a cloud, participants are invited to slow down, listen inwardly and explore how meaning emerges through images, sensations and poetic language. The responses collected form a shared visual landscape that reveals multiple ways of seeing, feeling and being.

Performance Audiovisual:

《Sonic Afterimage》Performance audiovisual 2026

Chen Yu-Jung
The work Sonic Afterimage uses algorithms as its main generative mechanism, seeking to infuse organic vitality through the precision of digital logic. Through the interactive dialogue between programming and sound generation, space ceases to be a rigid container; its rhythm and form become fluid, transforming physical barriers into a heterogeneous, measurable, and mutable kinetic field. Within a profound visual and sonic language, these heterogeneous structures guide the viewer's perception to glide across the liminal boundaries between the natural, the artificial, the abstract, and the concrete.

Acción sonora:

Okeāns DJ Set

Okeāns

Okeāns brings to Raum E116 a unique sound proposal that emerges from the intersection between experimental electronic music and contemporary artistic curation. With a solid track record on Radio Relativa through his JO-HA-KYU series of sessions, Okeāns explores electronic landscapes rich in textures, unpredictable rhythms and sensory narrative. His approach transcends the conventional dance floor to offer a profound experience — ideal for a context where sound and art meet and expand.

Performance audiovisual

Blanca Regina, Pierre Bouvier Patron and Toni Osuna

Vintage technologies such as slide projectors create a visual experience that dialogues with the history of the medium and adds an analogue and tactile dimension to digital projection. The combination of these strategies generates a hybrid space where technological memory and the present intersect, transforming the courtyard into an audiovisual laboratory and a place for collective encounters.

Workshop for children with Art Stories

LIKUID – Video art and physics

Inspired by artists who work with liquid materials, each participant will face different creative challenges in which they will explore and be fascinated by the effects of light and colour created by these liquids of different densities, pH levels, fluidity, viscosity, etc. A workshop that prioritises observation, sensory enjoyment and interdisciplinary learning between art and science.

Emotional transactions

Elena and Miguel

Speed dates are a clear example of rapid consumption and personal brand optimisation (key factors in today's society), as they transfer the dynamics of the free market to our sexual and emotional experiences, commodifying identity. In this performance, each spectator chooses a performer for a five-minute date where the performer adopts an attitude of absolute complacency, nullifying their identity to become the "perfect product" tailored to the customer.

Through this exaggeratedly artificial conversation, the action seeks to generate distancing and rejection in the interlocutor. By identifying the artist's compulsive need to present a compatible profile, the viewer is confronted with the harsh commodification of identity and the loss of authenticity in contemporary encounters.

Talk: Sunday vermouth

Luis Rodrigo Anaya

Based on the Balam Workshop project for this edition of Hybrid, focused on Colour, we are opening a debate on its use. Join in and we will treat you to a glass of vermouth to bring out our colours. Limited capacity.

Hotel NPC

Lux Valladolid

Using the figure of the Non-Player Character (NPC) from video games as a conceptual tool, the artist adopts and sustains planking in a state of permanent waiting. Since activation never occurs, the character occupies unusual positions, such as staring at the floor or standing in front of a wall, sometimes only partially visible. It does not speak or possess its own agency: it is limited to stillness, reinforcing its condition of passive and programmed presence.

Collective action: DL.25.001M

Virginia de Diego

Performance as questioning: when does an object become rubbish, ruin? In relation to confetti, perhaps the moment it touches the ground. Or as soon as it is thrown. Was this mountain of confetti already a ruin when it was installed? Was it a landscape of waste or celebration? This performance proposes to ruin and spit on the work of art together. The audience will be invited to touch the piece, jump on it, walk through it, climb into it, or throw kilos and kilos of it at each other. What will remain: disaster—or perhaps it always had been—a literal end to the party. A collective experience of destruction as creation. Please do not notify room service.

Golem

César Izuzquiza and Arturo Moya Villén

“Golem” es una instalación participativa con elementos de performance, que articula un cruce entre el transhumanismo digital, lo teratológico y la cábala. La propuesta se pregunta por el sentido de las nuevas formas de existencia surgidas en el código. A través del escaneo 3D de los asistentes y su posterior mezcla, la propuesta genera un Golem simbiótico, un ente colectivo, monstruoso, que utiliza la palabra como instrucción para encarnar el viaje hacia la infinidad del otro.
