Six days until Autumn semester begins! To celebrate, we’re happy to announce the lineup for the 2012 PSM Image Studies Lecture Series. As always, the lectures are free and open to the public, so we hope to see you there.

This year we’re proud to collaborate with Kaldor Public Art Projects on a series of events surrounding Project 25: ‘The Dailies’ by Thomas Demand. Mr. Demand’s lecture and Sylvia Lavin’s the following day will take place at the Domain Theatre at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

In addition, we are sponsoring two of the Kaldor “Parlour” events. Adam Jasper and Andrew Benjamin will each host a roundtable discussion on April 5 and April 19, respectively. More info on those events soon.
