Jake Caleb (1990, UK) is a Rotterdam based artist. Caleb uses an interdisciplinary approach that brings together strands from visual art, music and poetry. His practice examines the concept of listening and the public and private forms this takes. He formalizes his research through exhibition making, hosting events and organizing initiatives. These works are often made collectively or in collaboration with others. Caleb co-ran an other world, a project space for observation, experimentation and dialogue in South Rotterdam from 2022-24. In 2020 he co-iniated Eathouse, a collective that instigates dialogue on how the culinary informs the social. In 2019 he co-initiated the Singing Club of Rotterdam, an anti-choir that explores how we use the voice. Photo Öncü H Gültekin.

**The Idyll (2025)** - To culminate his residency at Hordaland Kunstsenter, Jake Caleb hosted an open studio sharing artistic research he has been developing under the title ‘The Idyll’. During the research he worked with open call participants to discuss our digital dependency on Big Tech and to challenge the underlying motives and intentions in the implementation of their technologies. Together the group created their own ‘data sets’ of shared images and took part in speculative writing exercises influenced by the work of British artist Suzanne Treister, to explore themes of rest, contemplation and post-work society.

**without start without end (2024)** - without start without end is a series of prints made following a visit to the artist's family home. During his stay he re-traced the circumstances surrounding his father’s death due to Covid-19. Containing photographs and poetry made during his visit, the pieces reflect on loss, trauma and accountability. The work is assembled in panels of digital and analogue print, where monochrome photographs, family albums and text combine with colour, metallic pigment and paper. The different printing methods contrast with each other: screen printed images dense with ink give a bodily quality while glossy negative images create an ethereal and spectral ambience. The panels repeat across the space, using the reproductive qualities of print as a metaphor for the multiplication of a virus. Yet instead of scientific representations and graphs the walls are covered with flowers and wooded landscapes. These matt and velvety wallpaper-like prints ask how one could return to a site of loss and trauma with tenderness, rather than the divisive language so often encountered when discussing the pandemic. Poetry is scratched into the surface of some panels. Here the poetic form of the elegy is referred to, as a private experience of loss that is made public through dissemination and publication. These poems more pointedly question how the pandemic is addressed within society, asking what sort of space is needed to account for the loss it caused in contrast with the institutional frameworks of accountability being decided in governmental inquiries. The work was accompanied by a lecture performance where the artist examined details of the panels and contextualised their imagery with a montage of quotations, anecdotes and poetry. Questioning the semantic difference between 'holding accountable' and 'accounting for a loss' the performance refers to the ongoing UK Covid Inquiry, early epidemiology and the medical study of trauma. without start without end was supported by CBK Rotterdam, Mondriaan Fonds and Frans Masereel Centrum.

**an other world: thinking through artist-run space (2025)** - an other world: thinking through artist run space Talk as part of Juxtapose Art Fair - Aarhus, Denmark 2025. What is the current state of artist-run space in our contemporary social, political and economic climate? How can the artist-run resist institutional frameworks of art production and presentation? And what alternative models can artist-run spaces propose that benefit the interests and needs of artists, audiences and the communities such spaces create? At Juxtapose Art Fair an other world gave a talk asking how artists and artist-run spaces operate within a precarious, salvage economy. Both an other world and iovermorgen ran spaces which have now closed due or are under threat to planned gentrification projects. This is a common narrative of many artist-run collectives who occupy temporary space due to limited financial capacity, the rise of corporate property investment and the instability of available funding. The talk critically examined forms of institutional support. Using their experience of running a space as well as a range of references, an other world discussed how grassroots artist’s initiatives are currently valued within the wider framework of art spaces and institutions. The talk gave a critical reflection of new funding policies, as state funding bodies push artist-run spaces towards institutional ways of working and accountability. Next to that, an other world showed visual material from their exhibition programme and talked about the qualities of collaborating as a collective and working closely with artists on realising exhibitions and events.

**an other world: What We Build On (2024)** - After more than two years at Bevelandsestraat 10, an other world was forced to move out due to the planned demolition of their apartment block. With the demolition of the building the place that housed an other world will disappear but also the fibre of the neighbourhood will be changed forever. New, larger apartments will be built on the site where an other world used to stand, while the people who have lived in the area have to find new homes. 'What We Build On' reflects on these circumstances and the larger social and environmental materialities that deeply affect the lives of individuals and communities. By observing and responding to an other world’s surroundings, the program tackled in different ways issues of gentrification, erasure, and ecology. 'What We Build' was the last programme at Bevelandsestraat 10, and consisted of Scraps, trash, treasures, a site specific public intervention by the collective iovermorgen, dilated mud a solo exhibition by Kari Robertson, and Carnisse in flux: navigating change through performative speculation a series of workshops and a happening by Omid Kheirabadi. an other world is a project space for experimentation, dialogue and observation run by Jake Caleb, Ari David and Hedvig Koertz. Located in Carnisse, Rotterdam. Since its outset, the space's vision has been to facilitate experimentation, initiate discourse, and enable local and international artists to present their work and research to a wider public. an other world programmes projects that value artistic process as equally as finished outcome, encouraging artists to develop their work within the space through peer feedback and dialogue with the public. an other world values art for its ability to create a meeting place for community making. What We Build On is supported by Gemeente Rotterdam. Photo: Dilated mud (2024) Kari Robertson.

**A passage (2023) with Merve Kiliçer, Tilly Shiner, Michael Lewis and Nael Quraishi** - A passage is a body of work investigating the suppression of certain narratives within society, especially those pertaining to migration and grief. The work follows a ‘pilgrimage’ the artist made in 2023 to Allahabad, India to trace the history of his ancestor John James Caleb, a priest of Indian descent. This journey was sparked by the death of the artist’s father Nicholas Caleb due to Covid-19 in 2021. The exhibition at an other world consisted of an installation featuring 35mm black and white photographs taken during his travel to India together with photographs he took in the UK prior to his father’s death. Accompanying the installation Caleb invited Merve Kiliçer (TR), Tilly Shiner (UK), Michael Lewis (ID/NL/IN/UK) and Nael Quraishi (UK/ PK) to share their own (family) histories of migration and assimilation through commissioning original sound pieces and playlists. The contributions of Kiliçer, Shiner and Lewis were shared in two listening sessions on the opening and closing weekend. During the course of the exhibition, Quraishi was in residence at an other world to produce site specific photo-collages. The work intended to bring these private histories of grief and loss caused through assimilation into a public sphere, where space and time could be created to address not only personal experience but a societal lack of public environments where these experiences can be discussed. The contributions to this exhibition were supported by CBK Rotterdam, a-n Artist Bursaries and Gemeente Rotterdam. Photo developing courtesy of Peach Black.

**Ecologies of Sound (2024-2025) with Marleen Boschen & Chelsea College of Art students** - Ecologies of Sound is a practice-based experimental workshop that examines sound making, recording and listening as an ecological practice. Led by artists Marleen Boschen and Jake Caleb the series explores the relationships between art, ecology and collectivity. During an intensive 2-day workshop thematically related work is developed through exercises and discussion culminating in a final performative moment. In a world where the loss of (bio)diversity—in our environment but also in our social world—is ever present, how can we listen to and resound with a plurality of voices, rhythms and ecologies? What forms of attention, of tuning in, listening and witnessing can we cultivate? How might we be able to give sound or voice to the changing, and disappearing, environments around us? Finally, what does it mean to make art amidst a loss of worlds? Throughout the workshops we introduce sound recording, editing methods and writing exercises that explore how to sonically trace thought developments and conversations as well as to generate new work. In this way the workshop series encourages collaboration and collective working as well as development and reflection on student’s own interests and practices. The series took place at outdoor spaces for experimental ecological learning including GREENhaus at Chelsea College of Art and the Bethnal Green nature reserve, Phytology, encouraging a connection with place and different scales and processes of life. The audio documentation features a mix of the final compositions made by Chelsea College of Art BAFA students.

**Eathouse: Tongue Twisting Dinners – Session 3: reclamation of growth, attention to decay (2023)** - Tongue Twisting Dinners was a series of four monthly dinners hosted by Eathouse (Vlada Predelina, Ulufer Çelik, Merve Kiliçer and Jake Caleb). They explored ways of initiating critical dialogue around contemporary urgencies by bringing people and culinary practice together. For each session Eathouse hosted a different topic elaborated by guests whose research guided the dialogue. The dinners tried out unconventional formats that attempted to dissolve the separation between host, guest and audience through inclusive prompts. Each session was followed by a mailout written as an interpretive document of the dinner to be used as a guide to the discussion throughout the series. The conversation during the third Tongue Twisting Dinner focused on gardening and composting on an urban scale as methodologies for living through ecological crises. We invited guests Four Siblings (Müge Yilmaz & Marija Šujica) to talk about their edible living labyrinth in Amsterdam Nieuw West and Kate Price & Guillem S. Arquer, who discussed their recent research into communities within Rotterdam engaged in making compost. Tongue Twisting Dinners was supported by Gemeente Rotterdam and CBK Rotterdam.

**an other world: On Mending (2023/24)** - 'On Mending', was a three part series programmed by an other world. The series consisted of exhibitions from Jake Caleb, Angelica Falkeling and Ulufer Çelik which explored the theme of healing as a collective experience or practice. These projects explored alternatives to healing by encounters with plants, migration histories and art therapy. All three projects aimed to explore the role of collectivity by inviting others to participate and through initiating collective research. This relates to larger questions that an other world wants to ask about the role of community in healing as a way to prevent the dislocating effects of isolation and individual suffering. 'On Mending' consisted of exhibitions, events, artist talks and radio broadcasts. A passage by Jake Caleb created an installation of photographs where he hosted a series of listening sessions with invited artists, Tilly Shiner, Michael Lewis, Nael Quraishi and Merve Kılıçer and discussed topics of grief and cultural assimilation. For Above the Couch Angelica Falkeling exhibited works on paper for the first time. These were made in dialogue with a mental health professional as a way to process past trauma. The programme concluded with the exhibition Opiomarital by Ulufer Çelik who displayed a series of paintings and textile works made using henna, examining the plant’s use in Turkish marriage customs and exploring its potential to heal after the end of a relationship. an other world is a project space for experimentation, dialogue and observation run by Jake Caleb, Ari David and Hedvig Koertz.

**Through soft seam slips the knife ultramarine (2023)** - Through soft seam slips the knife ultramarine (2023) is a collection of poems made over the course of 2020 observing people, place and nature. Written largely during a time conditioned by the pandemic, the poems pay close attention to plant-life and the particular interactions of people within the vicinity of Rotterdam where the artist lives. With the disruption that Covid-19 caused to the dictating rhythms of work, the poems note different—often older—modes of marking time, such as the arrival of certain flowers or the shifting length of day. Within their lines, these seemingly cosmic rhythms become juxtaposed with the atemporal actions of people estranged from social convention, using poetic language as a container that can hold these contrasting perceptions of time. In addition, the plurality of meaning the language allowed became a way of sense making when other commonly held understandings were found to be suddenly redundant. The collection is published by Short Pieces That Move! a Rotterdam based publishing project initiated by Kate Briggs, Annabelle Binnerts, Linus Bonduelle, Ash Kilmartin and Petter Dahlström Persson.

**Jake Caleb X Nice Flaps (2023)** - Taking place in the garden at See Lab, the workshop invited participants to consider both botanical and still life drawing through collaborative exercises. Using blueprint paper participants made ‘blind’ drawings of the late summer/early autumn plants then assembled their own ‘garden’ with a collection of found materials. One of the main ideas around the workshop was the idea of ‘meso-cosm’, a middle ground between microcosm and macrocosm that is often used in controlled scientific experiments. This scale was used to encourage thinking about human agency and its effects when crafting and nurturing spaces such as the garden at See Lab.

**an other world: Traversals (2023)** - Traversals was a three part residency and exhibition series at an other world that explored the theme of liminal spaces with a selection of invited artists from abroad. The term liminal can refer to occupying either side of a threshold or boundary. The works of invited artists, Vangjush Vellahu, Ramón Jiménez Cárdenas and Dovile Aleksandraviciute & Jonas Vaitiekunas questioned how to inhabit liminality as a place of in-betweens, contingencies, and uncertainty. an other world is a project space for experimentation, dialogue and observation run by Jake Caleb, Ari David and Hedvig Koertz located in Carnisse, Rotterdam. Since its outset, the space’s vision has been to facilitate experimentation, initiate discourse, and enable local and international artists to present their work and research to a wider public. an other world programmes projects that value artistic process as equally as finished outcome, encouraging artists to develop their work within the space through peer feedback and dialogue with the public. an other world values art for its ability to create a meeting place for community making. Traversals was supported by Gemeente Rotterdam

**Atelier van Zuid (2022) with Neva Erik, Hila Kot, Kunley Silvania and Noa Sitton** - With Atelier van Zuid, Jake Caleb presents a series of photographs and clothing made alongside Neva Erik, Hila Kot, Kunley Silvania & Noa Sitton. The group answered an ad postered by Caleb on public transport and transit stops in Charlois, Rotterdam. The ad looked for young people from the area who were interested in making their own clothing line. Envied but often unheard, the work came from a curiosity in the attitudes of a younger generation and how these manifest within their mode of dress. The artist wondered what sort of style – and the sense of community that comes with it – they would cultivate if given the chance. How would it conform to trend or differ from a prior generation's ideals? Following this interest and the subsequent callout, the group met to create a clothing line under the name Atelier van Zuid for Spring Summer 2022. Made out of secondhand clothing collected from family and friends, this became an immediate way to experiment with garment design and technique. It was also a test bed for how the group could run their own label. The finished clothes were then documented through a series of photoshoots both modelled and photographed by the group and their friends. The exhibition presents the photographs and clothing, documenting the process of their production and the formation and dynamics of the group itself. Atelier van Zuid has been generously supported by Mondriaan Fonds, Gemeente Rotterdam and CBK Rotterdam.

**Garlic Behaviour (2021)** - 58m46s audio and installation. Garlic Behaviour is a durational work composed of processed field recordings, text and discarded furniture. The work grew out of a group started during the initial wave of the pandemic. Consisting of geographically distant members spanning several time zones, the group shared daily sound recordings with each other which culminated in individually edited sound works. Shared at a listening session each week, the group’s activities became a way of sampling and processing the sudden disorientating and disconcerting social conditions they found themselves collectively subjected to. The work was developed in locked-down space, where time is felt to simultaneously move while on hold. It asks whether it is possible to occupy this space, a newly felt present between time zones, where conditioned perceptions of time and progress are rearranged and augmented. What is heard in this interstice? What music resonates here? What becomes recon- figured in this accumulation of hours that is also no time at all? with thanks Bergur Thomas Anderson, Emma Astner, Nathan Bather, Liesbeth Bik, Linus Bonduelle, Annabelle Binnerts, Mylan Hoezen, Natanya Mark, Vlada Predelina, Rachel Schenberg, Daphne Simons, Edward Simpson, Berglind Erna Tryggvadóttir. Garlic Behaviour was exhibited as part of Material Context: PZI Graduation & Alumni Exhibition at Het Archief, Rotterdam from 1st – 11th July 2021.

**Supporting Stones (2021)** - 16mm digital conversion and installation (10min loop). Supporting Stones (2021) is a sensory mediation on shared time, sites of congregation and myth. Part travelogue, part nature documentary, the film visits sites of Neolithic megaliths known locally as hunebedden in the northern Dutch province of Drenthe. Constructed with boulders left behind by retreating Ice Age glaciers, the structures are archeological remains of the oldest documented farming communities in the area. Predecessors to current sedentary lifestyles, the Neolithic farmers are the film’s long gone protagonists, whose decisions to cultivate the land altered its ecology as they moved away from prior nomadic forms of living. The film attempts to trace these histories of sedentism by visiting these originary sites. Through close observation of the current uses of the landscape, the film asks what forms of life congregate here, what passages of time are present and what grows, both physically and mythically, on these fields’ disturbed edges. The film was made in dialogue with Marta Hryniuk, Nick Thomas and Vlada Predelina and kindly supported by Filmwerk- plaats Rotterdam and the Piet Zwart Institute Rotterdam. With thanks, Emma Astner, Ulufer Çelik, Merve Kiliçer, Clara J:son Borg, Manon Verkooyen, De Witte Buizerd and Hinkman and the garden of Hr. Hinkman. It was exhibited as part of ‘How to Get From Space to Place’, WET Space, Rotterdam. Photo courtesy Studio Wolphi.

**Sketch for Summer (2020) w/ Merve Kiliçer – 9min, 16mm digital conversion (Excerpt above)** - With Sketch for Summer (2020), Merve Kiliçer and Jake Caleb continue their practice of searching for specific plants in their surroundings. In this film they searched for plants high in phenol, a chemical substance that can be used to develop film. Intending to use the plants to process the film, they found themselves instead discussing their own process of collaboration. Their casual conversation slowly unfolds over the looping imagery of plants being picked in a garden. The commentary alongside the rough and grainy shots, attempts to sketch out their intentions, reflecting how dialogue is an integral part of their working process. As the film progresses, their initial thoughts become clearer, able to be identified like the plants in the garden the longer time is spent with them. The film was commissioned as part of at7's program and residency at Hotel Maria Kapel, 'To that special someone part II' and made with the support of Filmwerkplaats Rotterdam.

**CLUB NIGHT: Singing Club of Rotterdam / Audience at Antenne (2019/2020)** - Recorded during their debut Club Night in December 2019, Singing Club of Rotterdam / Audience at Antenne captures the sounds and energy of 40 people singing in a bedroom sized venue. For the event, the club shared warmups and exercises developed on the theme: how not to give a fuck. The audience were asked to participate, with the only tools required being their voices and their bodies. Exercises included 'Rotterdam Sound', a 20 minute aural mapping of Rotterdam through mimicry and improvisation and 'Collective Memory Song', where pop hits were collectively remembered and sang from memory. The event aimed to unearth the sounds that form and inform a social body and explore the production of communal joy. The recordings were released digitally and on limited tape cassette on the Antenne label in September 2020. Singing Club of Rotterdam is an experimental anti-choir initiated by Jake Caleb & Bergur Thomas Anderson in early 2019. Clubbers meet every other week to explore what can be done with the voice. This activity is member led, with a wavy amount of participants circulating around a ~15 person core. The Singing Club has done two public events so far, at Antenne and Attent in Rotterdam, where members organise the program to share with a wider public. For every semester it chooses a theme to focus on from an ever growing manifesto; previously the club has explored how not to give a fuck and listening to all our voices. Photo courtesy Antenne.

**Ik zie, ik zie, wat jij niet ziet! (2020)** - In the bulldozed grounds of the redevelopment site plants have taken root. Wildflowers and perennials emerge where houses stood. People no longer live here yet weeds continue to grow. To observe this life growing in the uninhabitable, a field study was initiated. In pairs, participants of the field study searched and identified weeds. One participant would describe a plant to another who would draw solely from their description. In this act of translation, space for wild interpretation was created and grew on the page. An arrangement of the drawings was displayed inside the glasshouse, bringing the study of the redevelopment site into the exhibition space. The same technique of drawing from description organically sprawled across its windows. These wild-flowers grew within the glasshouse. Is there space for weeds and wildflowers to grow in Rotterdam? Is there space for wild thought to enter the collective imaginary? Can this provoke the question what and who is allowed to live and grow in the city? With thanks Rozemarijn de Booij, Collette Rayner, Runa Ong, Floor Snels, Marijke Klamer, Kelsey, Nathan Bastien, Effy Fu, Mylan Hoezen, Wojtek Szustak, Carmen José, Wilma Kun, Kamiel Verschuren Supported through CBK Rotterdam, Stichting NAC and Charlois Speciaal.

In samenwerking met: Merve Kılıçer, at7

For at7 and Hotel Maria Kapel, Merve Kılıçer and Jake Caleb continued their practice of searching for specific plants in their surroundings. With their film Sketch for Summer (2020) they searched for plants high in phenol, a chemical substance that can be used to develop film. Intending to use the plants to process the film, they found themselves instead exploring their own process of collaboration.

For their show at Growing Space, Manon Verkooyen and Jake Caleb asked people to join a field study documenting weeds and wildflowers in the area of the Wielewaal redevelopment. They invited others to take part in their method of observation and listening in the belief that more eyes and ears see and hear more. This resulted in the drawings and paintings displayed in the green house of the Growing Space.
