Tsering Frykman-Glen

Tsering Frykman-Glen is founding director and curator of Tangent Projects. A British born but Barcelona based curator, Tsering has over 18 years of experience working in alternative/independent spaces, projects and galleries.

She was the New Media Director of Phatspace Gallery in Sydney between 2004 – 2006. After returning to London she co-founded The Spare Room, a one-year curatorial project that brought art into non-gallery spaces (2008). On moving to Barcelona she set up the purely internet-based arts curation project Remote (2011 – 2013), which was very much unexplored exhibition territory at that time. In 2015 she co-founded Tangent Projects as an itinerant curatorial endeavour. In early 2019, under Tsering’s guidance, Tangent Projects became a not-for-profit cultural association and opened an independent artspace with a small project-based gallery and 7 affordable artist studios. It is based in the L’Hospitalet de Llobregat area of Barcelona.

With the opening of the space, Tsering set about organising different forms of studio residencies within Tangent Projects studios. There are currently 2 consistent programmes – The Cotangent Summer Residencies which are shorter and by invitation, and the Studio Residency Programme, which is for 3 months, and determined via an “open call” with an ever-changing selection team. The Studio Residency Programme also includes an end of residency project in the gallery and a small printed zine publication.
