In 2021, Colección Solo curated a special exhibition titled The Garden of Earthly Delights. Through the artworks of Colección Solo[12] at the Matadero Madrid Centre for Contemporary Creation.[13] The exhibition aimed to re-contextualize Bosch's masterpiece in the contemporary era and featured the works of 15 international artists[14] across various mediums, including digital animation, artificial intelligence, sound, painting, and ceramics.[15] The exhibition attracted over 90,000 visitors[16][17] and included works by artists such as Cassie McQuater, Dan Hernandez, and the Dutch collective SMACK,[18] who created a digital contemporary interpretation of Bosch's SPECULUM.[19]

Loans from Colección Solo such Gari Baseman's Secrets and Truth has been part of the Summerhall at the Edinburgh Art Festival in 2014 and 2015, D*Face's work Peace is a Dirty Word was loaned for the artist's first retrospective at CAC Malaga. Mario Klingemann's artwork The Butcher's Son has been donated to the Victoria & Albert Museum in 2021,[20] and Filip Custic's piece X=Y=Z was loaned to the Ohm Museum in 2022, among others.[21]

In 2023 Colección Solo coproduced with Japanese PARCO Museum[22] a filip custic's exhibition titled Human Product.[23] The artist explores the relationship between body, mind, and technology,[24] and how these three elements interact to shape our identity during a time when we are connected 24/7.[25]

Artistic Programs, Awards and Experimentation projects

Colección Solo operates ONKAOS, a program dedicated to nurturing new media artists. Artists such as Mario Klingemann, Filip Custic, the Dutch collective SMACK, artist Chino Moya, and sound artist Koka Nikoladze are part of this new media support programm.

One project born through ONKAOS program is Mario Klingemann's work. Memories of Passersby I became the first AI artwork auctioned by Sotheby's.[26] Klingemann's other creations include "Appropriate Response," recognized at Ars Electronica 2020,[27] and A.I.C.C.A., an art performative sculpture art critic dog in 2023.[28]

Presented at Solo Space, A.I.C.C.A. is a performative sculpture—a dog-shaped robot generating critical essays on observed artworks autonomously.[29][30] Challenging AI's traditional role, it blurs sculpture, technology, and performance, raising questions about art criticism's subjectivity.[31] Inspired by vintage toys, A.I.C.C.A. employs a sophisticated algorithm to learn and make independent decisions based on patterns and training data.[32]

The project 's debut work was the triptych ‘Persistencia de la Narración’.

Espacio Solo

Colección Solo is housed at Espacio Solo, a museum located in Puerta de Alcalá,[44] Madrid. The architectural design of Espacio Solo was created by Juan Herreros, an architect awarded by the Madrid College of Architects (COAM) Prize in 2018[45] for his work on the museum building. The museum was built in a relevant building in the city of Madrid called the Millenium building, in the Plaza de la Independencia, popularly known as Puerta de Alcalá. The studio of Juan Herreros is building a new artistic space for Colección Solo in Madrid, which will consist of 4,000 metres for exhibitions and spaces dedicated to artistic and cultural experimentation. It is scheduled to open in 2024.
