Andréhn-Schiptjenko at Art Basel MIAMI, 2020

Santiago Mostyn (b. 1981) makes films, installations and performances that test the divide between disparate cultural spheres, employing an intuitive process to engage with a knowledge and history grounded equally in the body and the rational mind. He is based in Sweden but maintains strong ties to Zimbabwe and Trinidad & Tobago, the countries of his upbringing.

Mostyn has exhibited widely at venues including the 12th Rencontres de Bamako (2019), Institut Suédois Paris (2019), Gothenburg Biennial (2017), Moderna Museet (2016), Kunsthall Stavanger (2014), and Performa13 in New York. Upcoming research fellowships in 2021 include Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, and Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart.

In ArtBasel Miami Beach OVR we are delighted to present works from Red Summer Edit, an on-going visual research framework that considers the fragility and potential of the Black body in two distinct political spaces: late-Capitalism in the United States, and post-colonial populism in southern Africa and the Caribbean.
