Jacob Wick is an improviser, composer, writer, and artist. His work is dedicated to and informed by queer feelings and queer politics.
As an improviser and composer, he has performed his music and that of others in a variety of contexts, including at SummerStage in New York City and the Moers Festival in Germany. He has performed with Matana Roberts, claire rousay, Gerald Cleaver, Katherine Young, Judith Hamann, Toshimaru Nakamura, and others. His 2024 release “something in your eyes” was listed as “Best Experimental Music in 2024” by Marc Masters at Bandcamp.
As a writer, he has published in print and online, writing about art and art scenes throughout the US and Mexico.

In 2013, with the assistance of The Think Tank that has yet to be named…, he organized Germantown City Hall, a temporary city hall for the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia modeled after 19th-century anarcho-utopian town halls.
Currently he works with a quartet and an ensemble, both playing his compositions. In 2025, he launched El Sota, an itinerant BBQ and concert series.
