ARTIST Callum Morton has notched up another accolade. He is a recipient of an Australia Council fellowship, worth $90,000 over two years, in order to "produce a body of prints, models and an animation based on a constructed virtual city, which will include roads, schools, hospitals and housing for installation in Melbourne and London in 2007". He will also represent Australia at the 2007 Venice Biennale. In 2004 he was the inaugural recipient of the $90,000 Helen Macpherson Trust award. Melbourne craft artist Susan Cohn also receives a $90,000 fellowship to develop work for show at Anna Schwartz Gallery in 2007, and in Canada in 2008.
