Lives and works in Melbourne
Callum Morton’s installation and sculptural practice is inspired by architecture and the built environment. His work has consistently addressed the ‘architecture of experience’ – the moment of encounter between viewer and object, or viewer and built environment. Often, his works explore human interaction with architectural space through scale models and facades of well-known buildings. For example, Morton represented Australia at the 2007 Venice Biennale with a scale model of his childhood home, designed and built in the 1970s in a modernist style by his architect father.
Morton’s work is held in important Australian and international public collections including, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney; Museum of Old and New, Hobart; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth, New Zealand; and Fondazione Morra Greco, Naples, among others.
