Visual Century: South African art in context, 1907-2007

^{Visual Century is a research project that situates South African visual art history within historical and art historical contexts, nationally and internationally.  Visual Century will produce various resources, including four books to be published in 2009.  Conceived by Gavin Jantjes, the project director, Visual Century is managed by Mario Pissarra on behalf of ASAI. The project has received initial funding from the Department of Arts & Culture, and is currently at an advanced stage in discussions with a department at a South African university, where the project plans to be based. Visual Century's first public event will be a workshop at the University of Stellenbosch on 17 November (see opposite for details).  (2 November 2007)}
