Giancarlo Montes Santangelo is an artist from Washington DC, and is currently based in New York. Santangelo photographs and collages in an effort to map out where he comes from and where he wants to go. His images bring together his own body and staged scenes against archival images pulled from Argentina and Puerto Rico. Santangelo’s photographs rely on symbols that allow him to play with the tension between images and histories. In 2019, Giancarlo exhibited his photographs alongside Paul Mpagi Sepuya as part of the Whitney Biennial, NY. In 2020, he published his first monograph, "Improvising Sight Lines" with Monolith Editions, which is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY and MoMA, NY. In 2023, Giancarlo was an Image Equity Fellow with Google, worked with the Washington Project for the Arts as an artist organizer, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. In September 2023, he will work as the School and Public Programs Fellow at the Brooklyn Museum.
