Summary:
A mountain of chairs piled between buildings. Shoes sewn behind animal membranes into a wall. A massive crack running through the floor of Tate Modern.

Salcedo, who lives and works in Bogotá, roots her art in Colombia’s social and political landscape — including its long history of civil wars — with a poetic sensibility that balances the gravitas of her subjects.
