SOLO 2025 unfolded as a constellation of practices developed within six independent art spaces across Europe. Starting from the format of the solo exhibition, it explored the boundaries between the personal and the collective, the intimate and the shared, the material and the symbolic. The program presented itself as a network of resonances and frictions between subjectivities that, while rooted in singular realities, shared 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 shared a commitment to both material and formal research, approaching the idea of process as a space of resistance where artistic practice became 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 was sustained as a critical and sensitive gesture in response to the present.

The works presented in SOLO traced lines of flight and interdependence: a memory that fragmented and reassembled (Julio); an ecology of layered, futuristic storytelling (BAM Projects); a body that thought 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 cut through skin and light (Malpaís).

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