BIOGRAPHY

Born in Derry, Northern Ireland, and raised in Donegal, Ireland, Malcolm studied at the University of Ulster in Belfast, where he received his BA honors degree in Three-Dimensional Design. He came to the US in 1986, and earned his MA in Sculpture from New Mexico State University, returning to Ireland after he graduated.

He came back to the US after a year and a half in Australia and Asia to attend the graduate program at The Ohio State University, where he received his MFA in Sculpture and Performance. There he co-founded Crisus, a performance company. For the next ten years, Crisus wrote, produced, and toured large-scale multimedia performances throughout the US and abroad. Malcolm moved with Crisus from Ohio to New Orleans, then to Chicago, and finally to San Francisco.

In 1999, Malcolm moved away from performance to concentrate on interactive installation and kinetic sculpture. Malcolm moved from San Francisco to New Orleans in 2002 and joined the faculty of Louisiana State University’s School of Art in the fall of 2003.
