Lives and works Auckland, New Zealand

Described as a “cultural ethnographer, scavenger, archivist and producer” Auckland-based artist Daniel Malone tends to defy categorisation. (Emma Bugden, 2004). Working across mediums including painting, sculpture, video, performance, sound and photography, Malone is adroit at creating situations and spaces that tackle preconceptions of familiar social and cultural identity. Conceptual concerns are at the core of his practice, which is evident in Malone's fascination with navigating foreign terrain in an attempt to extrapolate relevant historical and social connections with specific sites, thus revealing or at least humorously prodding dominate ideologies and didactics.

Malone has exhibited widely both in New Zealand and internationally. Recent exhibitions include Local Transit - An Exhibition in Two Parts 2006 , a joint exhibition between Artspace (Auckland) and Artists Space (New York); W eapons Of Mass Creation , 2005 Special Gallery, Auckland; World Famous In New Zealand , 2005 Canberra Contemporary Art Space, Australia; Telecom Prospect 2004, City Gallery Wellington, Biennale of Sydney 2004, Malone @ artspace , 2003, Artspace. Malone is currently a lecturer at Elam School of Fine Arts, The University of Auckland. He holds bachelor degrees in Art History and Fine Arts from the University of Auckland .
