SOLO 2025 unfolds as a constellation of practices developed within six independent art spaces across Europe. Starting from the format of the solo exhibition, it explores the boundaries between the personal and the collective, the intimate and the shared, the material and the symbolic. The program presents itself as a network of resonances and frictions between subjectivities that, while rooted in singular realities, share a common concern: how to build forms of relation — with the world, with materials, with memory, with landscape, with images, with others — in a context shaped by fragmentation, ecological collapse, and dissolution of references.

The six selected proposals share a commitment to both material and formal research, approaching the idea of process as a space of resistance where artistic practice becomes a live tension: between matter and body, image and its failure, memory and its erosion, nature and its fictionalization, territory and its transformation. Rather than seeking resolution, this tension is sustained as a critical and sensitive gesture in response to the present.

The works presented in SOLO trace lines of flight and interdependence: a memory that fragments and reassembles (Julio); an ecology of layered, futuristic storytelling (BAM Projects); a body that thinks through displaced objects (ATOI); an identity blurred through post-human materials (C U AT SADKA); painting as open path and repetitive thought (Espai 19); a poetic force that cuts through skin and light (Malpaís).

Within this framework, SOLO becomes a porous territory, always in dialogue. It is a way of inhabiting the present through fragility, through fissures, and through shared gestures. From this perspective, the program is proposed as a space of co-production and shared thought, where independent artistic practice is understood as a fabric that unfolds and transforms in constant relationship with its contexts and alliances.
