Exhibition New Worlds

BACKGROUND Kozka's work 'Pre-dinner drinks' formed part of the New Worlds group exhibition curated by the Director of the Australian Centre for Photography, Alasdair Foster. The exhibition built on the shared sensibility of the contributing artists for melding the new and old in an innovative and creative way, building on a tradition of looking back as a means of defining contemporary identity. CONTRIBUTION While each artist of New Worlds has a distinctive style and approach and independently examined and referenced the past in their work - whether using historical pastiche, design, memory or landscape - the rewinding of time encouraged viewers to dissect the present and contemplate the future. Kozka's work for New Worlds, 'Pre-dinner drinks', draws on Kozka's sense of the "ambiguity of memory" providing a "narrative of suburbia and the people who inhabit this space" according to Sydney art writer, Naomi Gall. "The figures stare out through sad, expressionless eyes while acting out scenarios not dissimilar from distant childhood memories" (Gall, 2011). SIGNIFICANCE New Worlds, exhibited at the Museum of Photography, Seoul, Korea in August and September 2011 was a major cultural activity of the 2011 Australia-Korea Year of Friendship. A joint initiative by the Commonwelath of Australia and Republic of Korea governments, the Year of Friendship marked 50 years of bilateral relations between the nations. The exhibition was itself developed as a reciprocal bilateral activity, with the Museum of Photography presenting an exhibition of Korean photography at Australian Centre for Photography in August 2011.

背景：科兹卡的作品《餐前小酌》（Pre-dinner drinks）曾作为由澳大利亚摄影中心（Australian Centre for Photography）主任阿拉斯代尔·福斯特（Alasdair Foster）策展的《新世界》（New Worlds）群展的参展作品之一。该展览依托参展艺术家们共通的创作理念，以创新创意的方式实现新旧融合，承袭了以回望传统界定当代身份的创作脉络。

创作贡献：尽管《新世界》群展的每位艺术家都拥有独特的创作风格与手法，且均在作品中独立审视并借鉴过往——无论是运用历史仿作、设计手法、记忆叙事还是景观元素，这种时间回溯的创作手法都能引导观者剖析当下、思索未来。据悉尼艺术评论家娜奥米·高尔（Naomi Gall）所述，科兹卡为《新世界》创作的《餐前小酌》，依托其对"记忆的模糊性"的感知，构建出"一幅关于市郊社区与栖居于这片空间的人群的叙事图景"。她指出："画中人物以悲伤而面无表情的眼神直视观者，其所演绎的场景与遥远的童年记忆并无二致"（高尔，2011）。

价值意义：2011年8月至9月于韩国首尔摄影博物馆（Museum of Photography, Seoul）展出的《新世界》群展，是2011年澳韩友好年的核心文化活动之一。该友好年由澳大利亚联邦（Commonwealth of Australia）与大韩民国（Republic of Korea）两国政府联合发起，旨在纪念两国建交50周年。本次展览本身亦是一项双向对等的双边交流活动：同年8月，首尔摄影博物馆曾于澳大利亚摄影中心举办韩国摄影作品展。
