Aleks Danko in ‘Old Dog New Tricks’ at Ngununggula
Aleks Danko’s sculpture ‘Log Dog’ (1970) is currently on show in the exhibition ‘Old Dog New Tricks’ at Ngununggula.
Presenting works by artists who use the canine to interrogate modes of communication, the exhibition re-examines and re-frames mythology, alternative biologies by showcasing a menagerie of creatures who resist classification. Here, dogs are our muses, collaborators, guides, protectors, comedians, companions and shrines. This exhibition celebrates the implosion of nature and culture through the intertwined lives of dogs and people.
