RA Walden is a transdisciplinary artist whose work centres a queer, disabled perspective on the fragility of the body. Their practice spans sculpture, installation, video, and printed matter, all of which is undertaken with a socially engaged and research-led working methodology. Walden is interested in our ability and failure to navigate physicality, interdependency and vulnerability both communally and individually; understanding world-building not as a visionary tool for an imagined future, but as an embodied methodology for the now. Recent work has been shown at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art: UK, HAU: Berlin, The National Gallery of Australia, SOHO20: NYC, and Kunstinstituut Melly: Rotterdam. Walden has been a resident of Shandaken Storm King: NYC, Wysing Arts Centre: UK, Hebbel am Ufer: Berlin, and La Becque: Switzerland. Their solo exhibition access points // or // alternative states of matter(ing) opened in May 2023 at Storm King Art Center, NYC; they presented a solo exhibition at Grundy Gallery, UK, in 2024 titled object transformations through the co-ordinate of time.
