Glenda Salazar

The recognition and appropriation of territory through travel, in this case involving a series of questions about the physical and intangible territory, exploring the keys that bind individuals into a space that we all share have been the base of Glenda Salazar´s aesthetics. Her works arise from the experience in space, using the elements of Nature. The artistic experience comes from a junction between freedom attitude in outdoor space and communication with surrounding medium implicating a possible and future spectator. In first stage photography became ideal means to perpetuate the works, given that in most cases such are created in ephemeral, short-lived conditions. The main interest overflows the intention of just ¨showing art pieces¨ but to become at some point and activist through her practice. There is a commitment to magnify the actions and interventions to Nature, searching simplicity that outcrops deeper subtext implications where real change comes and the viewer is no longer a passive to become a doer. She is graduated from High School in Arts at Fine Arts Academy El Alba, Holguin, 2002, Bachelor in Fine Arts at the University of Arts (ISA) Havana in 2007, and she works as Professor of the workshop, Artenatura (optional and self- created), since 2008, and Professor of Basic photographic since 2010. She has exhibited in Spain, Morocco, Germany, Mexico, USA, France and around Cuba. She received the prestigious residency Ecole de beaux arts de Paris, 2005, participation at the atelier of Christiam Boltanski. She participate in the macro exhibition, Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago, The Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA MOLAA, and in  the  exhibition for the 500´s years of Havana,  Habana imágenes de 5 siglos, in the Museo de Bellas Artes in Cuba.
