solo show online, by torre alain and ian bruner

"We always had a resistance to consider spaces as empty containers...Between work and space is triggered a symbiotic relationship. Something lives in the dry riverbed, it hides in the forest or in the living room’s tapestry. In these environments it feels the work is defined by spectral forces, thick fogs soaking and submerging them. Thousands of eyes gleam and expand to perceive the presences, they dig and devour the light and digesting it, they transform it into darkness". - MRZB


Solo Show Online (est. 2019) is a curatorial network of offsite + online artists. We produce themed exhibitions of new work from invited artists + we share works by friends. Our focus is toward art + methods based on visual novels, new romanticisms, otaku / visual kei, sturm und drang and moeontology.
