Listen now to the third conversation in the Think Tank series as part of the forthcoming exhibition Who’s Afraid of Public Space?

Presented in partnership with Art Projects Australia (APA), this session will be moderated by ACCA’s Public Programs Coordinator Bianca Winataputri and include contributors Dewi Cooke, Eleanor Jackson, Sim Luttin, Michael Camakaris and Ed Service.

ACCA is pleased to co-host further Think Tanks over the coming year to consider a wide array of considerations pertinent to the exhibition and the work of our partner organisations and co-hosts. The Think Tank discussions will continue to feed into the critical concerns of the overarching Who’s Afraid of Public Space? project, contributing to a polyphonic and polycentric understanding of our increasingly complex public realm.

Who’s Afraid of Public Space? Think Tank #3 – Visibility and Accessibility

Listen to the artist talk with Maria Kozic speaking about her iconic series 'Calendar Girls' 1999 presented in ACCA’s current exhibition 'From the other side' (9 December 2023 – 3 March 2024).

Maria Kozic works across painting, sculpture, photography and film. Her practice has often drawn on the depictions and tropes of women, monsters and creatures in horror and exploitation films. Through the lens of gender and feminist politics, she is known for engaging with cult cinema, music, popular culture, advertising and DIY punk aesthetics.

Maria Kozic has been included in major solo and group exhibitions at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Ian Potter Gallery, University of Melbourne, Melbourne; Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne; Posteritati Gallery, New York; Soho Arts Festival, New York.
