Artists’ Talks organised by Parveen Adams.

Visual writer and artist Marion Kalmus uses photography, computer controlled installation, and performance to produce large-scale, site-specific works for public galleries. Her commissions include 'Well' for the South Bank Centre and 'Deserter' for 'Video Positive' at the Liverpool Tate. Her work is issue-based and engages with the complexities and ambiguities of human interactions. Formally, the work investigates the phenomenology of our perception, particularly the perception of space, and often uses optical effects to create illusions that the viewer can move within. Kalmus shows her work and talks about a number of formal, practical, philosophical and ethical issues, exploring the ways in which both intelligence and passion can be allowed to emerge in working practices.
