Txuspo Poyo (Altsasu, 1963). A multidisciplinary artist and graduate in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country, he pursued further training at the International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York and the Center for Advanced Digital Applications at New York University.
His distinctions include the Fundación Marcelino Botín Grant (2001), the Gure Artea Award (2006), the Unión Fenosa Award (2008), and the Multiverso BBVA Grant (2015). In 2021 he was an artist-in-residence at the Spanish Academy in Rome, and in 2025 he was awarded an artist´s residency by Tabacalera.
Since the 1990s, he has developed an artistic practice grounded in the assemblage and research of cultural and generational phenomena. His work brings together film, animation, architecture, and science fiction, to construct visual narratives where history, memory, and the collective imagination converge.
He has explored practices ranging from the reconstruction of films on analogue supports to the use of playful technologies such as the PixelVision camera, with the aim of analysing social, moral, and gender behaviour within Western audiovisual culture.
He has held solo exhibitions in venues such as the Museo Artium (Vitoria), Centro de Arte La Panera (Lleida), Museo de Arte y Diseño Contemporáneo in Costa Rica, and Sala Montcada (Barcelona). He has taken part in major group exhibitions at the Artist Space in Nueva York; Galleria Nazionale in Rome; Recontres Internationales Louvre, Paris and Berlin; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid; Museo Guggenheim Bilbao; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin; Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Seville; Second Luanda Triennial in Angola and File in São Paulo, Brazil, amongst others.
