Alfio Bonanno
Italian-born, Australian-raised Danish ‘citizen of the world’, Alfio Bonanno (born 1947), is a pioneering environmental artist and political and ecological activist who has been making site-specific installations, temporary and permanent, since the 1970s. From his roots as an expressionist landscape painter, he found his voice with a nomadic existence and practice, one that travels through and across disciplines – fusing aspects of body art, land art, performance, expressionism, minimalism, photography, drawing and sculpture into a multifaceted body of work that engages all the senses.
This is the first major book about Alfio Bonanno, published in English and Danish, to accompany his landmark retrospective exhibition at the Johannes Larsen Museum in Denmark (October 2, 2020 – January 10, 2021). Written by art historian Amy Dempsey with an introduction by curator Christian Kortegaard Madsen, the book is 228 pages long and is richly illustrated with photos of Bonanno’s work and his sketches, along with documentary and photographic material related to Alfio Bonanno’s installations and land art projects around the world.
