Curatorial Focus: Hybrid Collaboration

At orleanlaiproject, the idea of "hybrid collaboration" serves as a dynamic synthesis of artistic practices. Here, diverse media converge, allowing artists to interweave their unique perspectives into intermedial works. This exploration transcends conventional genres, inviting creators to embrace the fluidity of expression as they integrate various mediums and inter-sensory experiential approaches of meaning-making.

In this creative platform, artists engage in dialogues that challenge the boundaries of their specialised practices. Their artistic inquiries become collaborative investigations that redefine the relationship between genre, form and spectatorship experience. As they navigate the complexities of conceptual fusion of intermediality, a shared vulnerability and uncertainty emerges, encouraging a collective imagination that expands beyond the limits of traditional art forms.

Founded in 2006 by curator and producer Orlean Lai, orleanlaiproject began as a platform for delivering hybrid productions to Hong Kong. Over the years, it has evolved to curate and produce intermedial collaboration experiments, working closely with independent creators.
