Marion Kalmus
Marion Kalmus is a British artist who produced work between 1993 and 2002. After a first profession as a fresco restorer, Kalmus studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London.[1] Whilst still a student she was commissioned to make a work at the Royal Festival Hall, London[1] She won the Nicholas and Andre Tooth Scholarship[2] and used the prize to film her work Deserter[3] which was shown at the Tate Liverpool 1995.[1][4]
She was the Kettle's Yard Fellow 1997-8 and a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge.[1][5][6][7] Kalmus returned to Cambridge in 2000 to stage her surround sound film Restoration Drama at the former Festival Theatre, Cambridge.[8][9]
Her permanent architectural intervention[jargon] for Norman Foster’s National Botanic Garden of Wales opened in December 2001.[1][10] In 2002 her work was shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.[11][12] She was nominated for the Jerwood Artist’s Platform 2004.[12]
Kalmus was an early adopter of digital technologies, making computer-controlled artworks in the early 1990s when such technologies in fine art were still very unusual. She produced, "Formal work of striking visual clarity"[13][irrelevant citation] via "Painterly and cinematic narratives which belie the extraordinary technical expertise employed in their construction".[13] She was nominated for both Digital Art and Fine Art Sculpture prizes within a year: The Imaginaria Digital Art prize at the Institute of Contemporary Arts 1999[14] and the Jerwood Sculpture Prize for 2001.[1][15]
