The Power Institute's regular reading group, focusing on new ideas and research in art history and visual culture.

1856, Johnny Heki [i.e. Hone Heke] , http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-134589351.

This reading group will focus on the topic of visuality, and the relationship between art, art history and visual culture today.  

This discussion is in anticipation of VISIONS, a forthcoming forum co-presented by the Power Institute and the MCA Australia, which will include Huey Copeland as a keynote speaker.
