Caleb Stein (b. 1994, UK) is a multimedia artist currently based in the U.S. His conceptual, documentary work takes the form of photographic installations, multi-channel video works, and artist books that engage questions about the collective, community, and the relationship between photography, perception, and memory. Stein's work often begins with ritualistic attention to specific spaces until this attention widens the sense of what that space can contain and how it can be seen. It looks at photography's relationship to usefulness, inventories, and notions of documentary while exploring the relationship between labor, the body, and sculpture. Stein begins with a question and finds the form best suited to exploring it, from the lyrical documentary of Down by the Hudson to the conceptual, collaborative work of American Glitch.

Stein's work has been exhibited internationally, often as an artist duo with Andrea Orejarena (b. 1994, Colombia). It is held in public and private collections including The J. Paul Getty Museum, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Nguyen Art Foundation, The New York State Museum, and the Ann Tenenbaum & Thomas H. Lee Family Collection. Exhibitions include The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, FOAM, Deichtorhallen, Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation, Photoforum Pasquart, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Nguyen Art Foundation, 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, among other places.

Stein has been nominated for awards including a LensCulture nomination by Legacy Russell and the Anne Wilkes Tucker Young Photographer Award at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. As an artist duo, Orejarena & Stein are the recipients of the 2024 FOAM Talent Award and the 2024 Center for Photographic Art Artist Grant, and have been nominated for the Hariban/Benrido Award (chosen by Yasufumi Nakamori).

Stein's work has been published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Guardian, Harper's Magazine, Hyperallergic, The British Journal of Photography, LA Review of Books, Dazed, FOAM, i-D, Vogue Italia, and Vanity Fair, among others.

Books include Long Time No See (with Andrea Orejarena), published by Jiazazhi Press in 2022 with texts by Do Tuong Linh and Forensic Architecture; How to Move a Mountain, published by Luhz Press in 2024 with an introduction by David Campany; and American Glitch (with Andrea Orejarena), published by Gnomic Book in 2024 with an introduction by David Campany and a text booklet with contributions from 35 writers, artists, and curators reflecting on contemporary conceptions of glitch. Down by the Hudson, a monograph of Stein's decade-long project, was published by Palo Gallery Press in fall 2026 with texts by Anita N. Bateman, Amitava Kumar, Daniel Wolff (interview), and Matt Carey-Williams. These books are held in the special collections of MoMA, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Yale University, Princeton University, Stanford University, Tate, The V & A, The Rijksmuseum, and The Center for Book Arts, among others.

Orejarena & Stein's first solo museum exhibition, Viral Hallucinations: Andrea Orejarena & Caleb Stein's Tactics & Mythologies, was on view at the Deichtorhallen, Hamburg, from fall 2024 to early 2025, curated by Nadine Isabelle Henrich, with new sculptural, installation, and video components. It traveled to Photoforum Pasquart, Switzerland, in an iteration curated by Amelie Schüle, through summer 2025. An installation of this work will be included in Palo Gallery's booth in the curated digital sector of the Grand Palais at Paris Photo 2026, curated by Marco De Mutiis of Fotomuseum Winterthur.

Stein is co-editor-in-chief of September Magazine, an annual contemporary art publication launched in fall 2026, edited with Andrea Orejarena and Rain Chan and designed by Brian Paul Lamotte. The first issue, Map of Maps, gathers nearly sixty artists, writers, curators, philosophers, filmmakers, designers, and architects to look at contemporary approaches to the archive, and includes nearly thirty newly commissioned texts.

Stein is represented by Palo Gallery in the U.S. and Vin Gallery in HCMC/Shanghai, and also collaborates with ROSEGALLERY in LA and Matt Carey-Williams Gallery in London.
