“Not every time has to be orgasmic” Jakob Grandin about Berghain, Gather and the longing for a collective.

2019-05-04

At Helio we have the ambition to mesh members and industries in order to create, cooperate and accomplish. Someone who feels the same way is the cultural entrepreneur and goose-bump creator Jakob Grandin, who along with the Innovation festival Gather has as a goal to create change and cross-border encounters. Jakob is also the creator behind the creative hub House of Gather, Nattskiftet, Nattrådet and has both feet in the cultural industries as the founder of Trädgården with the bureau Grandin’s Flying Circus. Before Jakob began flying, he used to work as a P.E. teacher, but he has also experienced what it’s like to live on social welfare when one of his previous clubs went downhill. Jakob is the kind of person who makes sure that the lamp is correctly aligned, instead of trying to bask in the light of it. We went for lunch and a cup of java with the man who confirms our theory of how opposites attract – in order to, well, to put it simply, get to know him better. Hello Jakob, did you live in a collective when you were younger? No! If we were going to take a guess at what your passion is, it would be collectives. When it boils down to it, all your projects are either created as one or in one. Where do these collective dreams come from? Maybe it was the …
