In 1984, Pop icon Keith Haring was invited by inaugural director John Buckley to visit the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. During his three-week trip to Australia, Haring drew several site-specific murals. He also created some works on paper that would be exhibited at the ACCA that year.
Haring’s works from 1984, including a few from the Australian exhibition, were some of the earliest depictions of computers in Pop art. Created during a burgeoning technological age, Haring’s works would often feature a computer ironically replacing a brain or depict the human mind in a state of media-induced frenzy.
