Glenna Jennings' work relates directly and tangentially to cheerleaders, guns, bearded men, working class spas, the subtle intricacies of identity and the shifting definitions of Space and Place. As a photographer, writer, curator and educator, she keeps the rules to a minimum and the possibilities at an overflow. The most important lesson she ever learned was how to unlearn many lessons of her youth. As she prepares to join the amorphous community of bodies that hold MFAs, she aims to create, educate, activate and continue running the international artist collective compactspace, which she founded with Art Center grads and Berlin artists in 2003. Their gallery is based in Los Angeles, where the issues and potentials of gentrification daily slap them the face. Jennings is the recipient of multiple awards and fellowships and has exhibited her work internationally. She would love you to give her a grant to further the aims of humanistic geography in Mongolia. She is a native San Diegan who believes that life is a useless glob without hope, friends and movement.
