Very interesting presentation, thank you Rhana.
Fantastic talk, thank you Rhana. Two of my favourite artists talked about at length! I particularly enjoyed the links made to the ideas of Jane Bennett, who I find exciting as well as quite challenging. I hadn't come across the work of Paul Rabinow, thank you for the introduction to his work which I will look up. Ngā mihi maioha, Tara Winters (Elam School of Fine Arts, The University of Auckland).
