Santiago Mostyn

Santiago Mostyn is an artist whose practice foregrounds narrative entanglements in pursuit of new understandings of place, both in a cultural and psychic sense. Mostyn has long been interested in the interplay of music, narrative, and the embodied self, with works manifesting as films, exhibitions, and curatorial projects.

Mostyn received a BA from Yale University and an MA from the Royal Institute of Art, in Stockholm. His recent exhibitions include After the Sun—Forecasts from the North at Buffalo AKG Art Museum (2024); The Threshold Is a Prism (2023) at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, in Stockholm; Mare Amoris | Sea of Love (2023) at UQ Art Museum, in Meanjin/Brisbane; Dream One (2022) at Södertälje Konsthall, in Sweden; The Show Is Over (2022) at the South London Gallery; 08-18 (Past Perfect) (2022) at Gerðarsafn Art Museum, in Kópavogur, Iceland; and The Real Show (2022) at CAC Brétigny, in France. Mostyn cocurated The Moderna Exhibition 2018: With the Future Behind Us, a survey of contemporary Swedish art, and was a resident at Künstlerhaus Bethanien (2021) and a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude (2022, 2024).
