Caleb Stein is a multimedia artist currently based in the U.S. His conceptual, documentary work often takes the form of photographic installations, multi-channel video works and artist books that engage with questions around the collective, community, and the relationship between photography, perception and memory. Stein’s work has been exhibited internationally, often as an artist duo with Andrea Orejarena (b. 1994, Colombia). Stein’s work can be found in a number of public & private collections, including The J. Paul Getty Museum, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Nguyen Art Foundation, Sixteen World Collection, The New York State Museum, and the Ann Tenenbaum & Thomas H. Lee Family Collection. His work has been exhibited at The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, FOAM, Deichtorhallen, Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation, Photoforum Pasquart, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Webber Gallery, Red Hook Labs, The Curator’s Room, PHMuseum, Belfast Photo Festival, Photo Vogue Festival, Vincom Center for Contemporary Art, ROSEGALLERY, Palo Gallery and Vin Gallery. ‘Down by the Hudson’, which brings together over a decade of work made at one watering hole in the Hudson Valley, is Stein’s most recent publication and will be accompanied by an international series of solo exhibitions in New York, London, Paris and San Francisco within the next year.
If a photo sort of hammers you over the head it’s not doing very much, is it? I prefer uncertainty and mystery.
