Join us for an artist talk and Q&A with artist Paul Walde, facilitated by Landscape & Life curator Gabriel Saloman Mindel.

This event will be streamed on Twitch as well as on Indexical’s hosted livestream site.

Paul Walde is an award-winning artist, composer and curator who lives in Victoria, Canada on WSÁNEĆ territory. Originally trained as a painter, Walde’s music and sound compositions have been a prominent feature in his artwork for over 20 years. He is best known for his interdisciplinary performance works staged in the natural environment, often involving music and choreography. The documentation of these events is frequently used as the basis of Walde’s sound and video installations which have been the subject of exhibitions nationally and internationally.

Current and recent exhibitions of his work include: Weeks Feel Like Days, Months Feel Like Years at the Anchorage Museum, Alaska and One Mile Gallery, Kingston NY (2020); Tom Thomson Centennial Swim at Touchstones Museum in Nelson, BC (2020); Au Loin Une Île at Mains d’Œuvres in Paris, France (2018); Records and Wireframes at Dundee Contemporary Arts as part of the NEoN Festival of Digital Media in Dundee, Scotland (2017) and The View from Up Here at the Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum in Tromsø, Norway (2017).

In 2012 he relocated to Victoria, British Columbia, where he is Associate Professor of Visual Arts at the University of Victoria, and in 2018, the recipient of the UVic REACH Award for Creativity and Artistic Expression. Walde is also a founding member of Audio Lodge, a Canadian sound art collective and EMU Experimental Music Unit a Victoria-based sound ensemble.
