Solo Sculpture Trail

Solo Sculpture Trail

Solo Sculpture Trail is an open-air sculpture park by Albarrán Bourdais gallery at Solo Houses. Less than a three hour drive from Barcelona, the park is embedded in Matarraña, with the monumental simplicity of the natural park of Puertos de Tortosa-Beceite as backdrop.

The permanent sculpture park gives continuation to three editions of  “Solo Summer Group Show”, a biannual summer exhibition by Albarrán Bourdais which presented a selection of works by artists such as Christian Boltanski and Mona Hatoum.

Starting on June 15, Solo Sculpture Trail will present over 20 artworks alongside 3 kilometres of diverse landscapes, from hundred-year-old vineyards to olive grooves and oak forests. New artworks and site-specific installations created by artists such as Olivier Mosset, Jose Dávila and Jordi Colomer are presented alongside major works from all previous editions of “Solo Summer Group Show” across new trails.

The launch of Solo Sculpture Trail will result  in one of the most ambitious sculpture parks of its kind, open year-round, with new additions every two years and accompanied by a cultural events programme.

Solo Sculpture Trail presents visionary works that foster a dialogue with nature and the viewer. With a focus on healing nature, each work establishes a singular ecosystem with the distinct landscapes. In turn, nature amplifies our awareness of the installations, awakening our senses.

With this project at the architecture and landscape initiative Solo Houses, Albarrán Bourdais continues to incite discussions around contemporary art, design and nature.

The newly-designed trails range from 3 km to over 5 km across the 200 hectare landscape of Solo Houses and can be explored by foot or using electric bikes provided by Riese Müller. Tickets start at 5 euro for adults and are free for under 18 year-olds.
