born 1969 in Kassel, lives in Berlin, Germany. Sven Kalden graduated in free art / sculpture in 1999 from the Academy of Art in Berlin-Weißensee, and currently works as a freelance artist.

For ten years he worked as an assistant professor in the faculty for architecture and urban planning at the BTU-CS.

Since 1996 he has participated in various exhibitions in Germany and abroad.

In his own work, Kalden deals with the visual sediments of present crises, conflicts and power structures. The found footage or media clichés serve as vehicles, which are filtered and put into a new context.
