Callum Morton will chat about some recent projects, the poetics of the city and why being lost in space is often better than knowing where you are.

About Callum Morton
Callum Morton is a Melbourne artist with a significant international profile whose works explore the emotional and social impact of our built environment. Known for his transformation of modernist architectural forms, he takes existing structures and alters them through destruction, camouflage, sound, and changes in scale, location or material. The resulting spatial and temporal disjunctions dramatise the tensions between art and life, history and the present, and lend his work its characteristic melancholy and humour.

Morton has an interest in the relationships between private and public space, reality and illusion, interior and exterior. Morton continues to create architectural conundrums, exploring modernism and debris, most recently in his startling new site-specific installation, Valhalla for the 52nd Venice Biennale.
