Cyanotype

Jakob Urban (b. 1997 in Brussels, Belgium) is a Berlin-based artist whose practice revolves around desire and its forms. Exploring the appropriation of queer artefacts in digital spaces and codified communications of intimacy in both historical and contemporary culture(s), he develops an erotic method regarding processes of situating and displaying. With a conceptual approach to image-making and an intimate relation to spaces and their context, Jakob Urban contemplates the tensions and implications of being exposed and being perceived.

He has worked on projects a.o. with: New Glasgow Society (Glasgow), Haus der Statistik (Berlin), Künstlerhaus Sootbörn (Hamburg), raum on demand / Alte Münze (Berlin), ortstermin Moabit (Berlin), Galerie Vincenz Sala (Berlin), Galerie M (Berlin), Gebäude 501 (Berlin), Stiftung KalkGestalten (Cologne), Kunstraum Potsdamer Straße (Berlin), Akademie der Künste (Berlin), ABRACADABRA (Berlin), artspring (Berlin), roam (Berlin), 48H Neukölln (Berlin), QUO (Berlin), Kulturfabrik Moabit (Berlin), Freiraum im Studentenhaus (Berlin), Galerie du Crous (Paris), Post Post Cultural (Brussels)
