Born in Adelaide in 1950, the son of Ukrainian émigré parents, Aleks Danko began making art as a teenager in his family’s suburban garage. Danko's practice encapsulates a diverse media; from sculpture and installation and performance to text based works and books that critically engage with the social, political and cultural landscape of Australia.
Aleks Danko
He studied sculpture at the South Australian School of Art in the late 1960s then moved to Sydney after graduating in 1971, where he was a central figure in the city’s Post-Object movement. His work was included in key contemporary art surveys of the period including The Situation Now: Object or Post-Object Art? (curated by Terry Smith, 1970), John Kaldor Art Project 2: I want to leave a nice well-done child here (curated by Harald Szeeman, 1971) and Object & Idea: New Work by 6 Australian Artists (curated by Brian Finemore, 1973).
Danko is an Honorary Senior Fellow of the Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and Melbourne Conservatorium of Music at the University of Melbourne. He lives between Melbourne and the rural Victorian town of Daylesford with his partner, the choreographer Jude Walton. He is represented by Sutton Gallery, Melbourne, and Milani Gallery, Sydney
