Leandro Soto Ortiz (born March 13, 1956) is a multidisciplinary visual/installation and performance artist.

Biography

Soto was one of the leading figures of the influential “Volumen Uno”, an artistic movement that changed the course of Cuban Art in the decade of the 1980s, in which he was the first artist in his generation to work with the Afro-Cuban heritage.[citation needed] He is also credited for being the first performance and installation artist in the island.[3]

In his performances and the visual/installation art which emerge from his performances, Soto responds to the postmodern coordinates of implosion and satire, often subverting the inceptions of culturally accepted notions of high/kitsch, traditional/pop, global/local, and profane/sacred art forms. Throughout his artistic career, he has demonstrated an interest in religion, ritual, and the mythology of indigenous people.[4]
