Description of the project by estudio Herreros
SOLO Space is a place in permanent change as it is the art collection that it lodges. It is a project in which the architecture is developed in parallel with the construction of an art collection. In this way, architecture and art form two sections of the same present that show in each moment what is and what they want to be, becoming the expression and a mirror of their promoters that are looking for a project that establishes the coordinates of their installation in the present.
SOLO Space is an intimate and collective place at the same time. We shun the words "private" and "public." It is a space to house a very particular collection that brings together creations of artists linked to the post-pop and post-street-art movements in all their formats - mainly painting, but also sculpture, objects, furniture, videos, installations, etc., all produced in "real time". That is why we use the word "actual, of what it has of the mixture of lightness of what may not remain and the exciting risk of betting on what will remain as an expression of its time in the future, and we shun the word "contemporary" to avoid the solemnity of the reconstruction of a recent time over the security of relying on consecrated references.
The architecture responds to this challenge by managing a few industrial materials used in a heterodox way in an unexpected scenario that mixes recognizable, luminous and silent rooms where the protagonism belongs to the works of art, with dark, broken paths that vary width and relationship in relation with the exterior, with an ambiguous condition between rest, exhibition or logistical space, full of surprises such as the projection and conference room, some spaces with double height and the places of storage and work in which one feels that he is in the wrong place.
