Aleks Danko epic performance was presented in the EAF gallery on 20 May. Rows of arm-banded and blindfolded conscripts chanted 'Australian’ mantras (“Rub some of my luck on ya!”) that were also boldly printed in black on hot-pink paper and pasted to the gallery walls, the Woodville High school choir sang the patriotic 1859 anthem 'The Song of Australia’, and paparazzi strolled among the performers and the crowd taking photos and popping their flashbulbs.
