Glenda León (Havana, Cuba, 1976) is a visual artist based in Havana and Madrid. Her work expands from drawing to video art, including installation and photography. After her Solo Show “Bruit Bleu”in the Centre d’Art Contemporain, Montélimar, France (2013) and her current participation in the Centre for Contemporary Art Laznia, Gdansk (Poland), and in the Prefix Institute for Contemporary Art, Toronto, Glenda León is currently focusing on her upcoming participation at the 55th Venice Biennale where she will present, together with other artists, the Cuban Pavilion, curated by Jorge Fernandez.
The idea for the video “Inversión” arose from a conversation with two financiers and collectors of art. ”Inversión” has two meanings in Spanish:
1) to invest money on something
2) to turn something upside down.
This absurd gesture of inhaling money has obvious economic connotations: a reference to the current economic crisis, questioning of the most established structures of society and money as object of desire.
While most of the people work for money, I invest my time and even certain physical effort in destroying it. Making art has, after all, always been linked to a palpable or immediate social utility.
This is just a sketch of the multiple significations that this video may have; I leave a space of silence to be completed by the spectator.
