Memory, Myth and the 1/4 Acre Block:
Bronek Kozka
Dates: 18 January to 4 March 2012
Artist Lecture and Official Exhibition Launch:
Wednesday 18 January, 4.30pm
RSVP essential by Monday 16 January 2012
Cash bar available
The suburban landscape, be it outdoors or interior, is the staging ground for Kozka’s re-enactments. Through elaborate tableaux photographs, the artist explores memory and remembered moments of growing up in suburbia, playing on the ambiguity of fact and fiction and the human ability to recall a scene or happening. Kozka’s photographs are partly truth and partly myth, and explore how memory can confuse and at the same time assure one’s construct of a story. |
