Jake Michael Singer

Jake Michael Singer (1991, Johannesburg) is a transdisciplinary artist coalescing sculpture, photography and painting, whose practice is primarily concerned with materiality, myth and catharsis.

Most recently over the past two years Singer has focussed his attention toward large scale site specific installations in historically significant edifices of Istanbul Yedikule Hisarı (during the 17th Istanbul Biennal, 2022) and Küçük Mustafa Paşa Hamamı (2021).

Singer holds a degree from Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town (2013) and has studied at Central Saint Martins, London. He is the recipient of the Eduardo Vila Foundation Grant in 2016 and 2017. Permanent public sculptures include Dawn Chorus (2019), Johannesburg; Roarks Evacuation Plan (2016), Johannesburg and Flume, Istanbul (forthcoming). Singer has completed residencies in Istanbul, Amsterdam, Kampala and Cologne.
