Broken Homes...

Andrew Mackenzie's review of Callum Morton's works was a particularly interesting read. His discussion is based primarily on Morton's Valhalla from the Venice Biennale of 2007. I found that, not at all being familiar with Morton's work, i can grasp the concepts which with he deals through his works. Obviously an artist dealing with architecture and institutions, Morton's idea's of public and private space being plumented teniously together in the stucture of a home is one that is not only intriguing but also starkly honest and one which can be related to with a sence of reality and truth. Although the work as Morton would have it, is not a personal diatrabe, but rather a social commentry, and Mackenzie's likening to such things as the World Trade Centre and Palestinian homes certainly gives the works an entirely different look.
