David Rosetzky and Aleks Danko in ‘Interfacial Intimacies’
David Rosetzky’s video work Gaps (2014) will be presented alongside Aleks Danko’s sculptural installation Incident – Ambivalence (1991-92) in the forthcoming travelling group show Interfacial Intimacies.
Curated by Caine Chennatt, the exhibition brings together artists who hold and express tenderly multiple aspects of their selves through a series of portraiture and anti-portraiture.

Organised by the Plimsoll Gallery at the University of Tasmania, the exhibition’s touring schedule is as follows:
Redcliffe Art Gallery, Moreton Bay, QLD: 18 May 2024 – 27 July 2024 Museum of Art and Culture | Yapping, Lake Macquarie, NSW: 12 Dec 2024 – 8 Feb 2025 Latrobe Regional Gallery, Morwell, VIC: 25 March 2025 – 25 June 2025.
