After having brought together the work of both artists on several occasions, both in projects in the gallery and in fairs, this time Susana Solano and Simon Callery come together in the unique setting of the Church of the Cistercian Monastery of Santa María de Bujedo de Juarros, in Burgos.
While Callery participates in this dialogue with two of his "flat paintings", Solano has created an ephemeral installation entitled "Fragments and links" conceived specifically for the site.
