Australian Centre for Contemporary Art and Melbourne International Arts festival present:

Callum Morton has reinvented the heroic moments of modernism to be re-encountered as a fun park of aesthetics and fantasy utopia. In this sculptural installation and architectural extravaganza, Morton invents a new world order of post-humanity made real. Think 007, imagine mini golf, remember L'Avventura, and HG Wells, consider Corbusier and needless to say Niemeyer. Welcome to Tomorrow Land, today. Fasten your seatbelts as Morton touches you down into the belly of the fun park that has become our post-Venturian, Ur-history existence.
One of Australia's most acclaimed international artists, Callum Morton is the recipient of The Helen Macpherson Smith Commission at Australian Centre for Contemporary Art for 2005.
