SOLO Independencia

Plaza de la Independencia 5, (Madrid)

Located in Madrid’s Plaza de la Independencia, SOLO Independencia is the main venue of SOLO, an international project that supports contemporary art through collecting, artistic production, and long-term research. The space brings together the different lines of work that define the collection: the promotion of current artistic practices, collaboration with creators across disciplines, and experimentation with emerging technologies and formats. This approach places creation at the center, while encouraging public access to the collection and the conversations it generates.

The venue showcases a permanent selection of works from Colección SOLO, presented alongside a programme of temporary exhibitions that changes once a year. These exhibitions offer different perspectives on the collection, allowing artworks to be recontextualised and shown in dialogue with each other. Visits are always guided, providing insight into both the works on display and the broader curatorial framework. With over 1,200 pieces by artists from around the world, the collection reflects a wide range of media and themes.

The building was designed by Juan Herreros and received the COAM Architecture Prize in 2018. Its layout was conceived to evolve alongside the collection, offering flexible spaces that accommodate both long-term installations and rotating displays. This architectural versatility allows the collection to be presented through multiple narratives and exhibition formats, reinforcing its dynamic and research-driven nature. The design also supports the collection’s commitment to accessibility and curatorial experimentation.

Visits to SOLO Independencia are available by appointment only and always include a guided tour. In addition to regular exhibitions, the venue can also be booked for private meetings and professional events.
