Intended to intervene in space, Susana Solanas work invites us to give in to the emotion of seeing our environment transformed. It re-travels the byways of that contemporary experience of tearing down the barriers of convention and exploring new relationships and new meanings. Her works, both those meant for large inhabited spaces and inscribed within the habitual dimension of architecture, and those that due to their size affect their spatial setting, upset the conventional principles of the division of functions and of uses. And not only because they are in the habit of invading, of occupying, a space hitherto reserved for the silent void that architecture engenders, but because in doing so they transform the usual ways of ordering space itself and the outcome of the experience of inhabiting it.
Susana Solano Rodríguez (Barcelona, 1946) lives in Sant Just Desvern and has her studio in Gelida. Between 1974 and 1980 she studied at the Facultad de Bellas Artes in Barcelona, where she gave classes between 1981 and 1987.
