And don't miss the Adhocrasound program, now available here
Adhocracy is Vitals’ annual make ‘n’ show hothouse, inviting interdisciplinary artists to create, converse and critique, in one highly-charged space over the June Queen’s Birthday long weekend.
After a
national call and a huge response, we are very pleased to announce the projects
that will be participating in Adhocracy this year. Get ready to head to the
Port and immerse yourself in three days of open studios, artists’ talks,
work-in-progress showings, audience experiments and site-specific happenings.
The ten projects and new works you can experience and contribute to at Adhocracy
2012 are…
Dance Hall > Jess
Olivieri, Hayley Forward & the Parachutes for Ladies (NSW & SA) > a site-specific work about dance hall culture
and the sense of collective enchantment associated with dance halls across
eras.
Audio Commentary >
isthisyours? (SA, NSW & VIC) > a performance work exploring the desire to
comment upon the world around us and the boundaries between content and
commentary in fields such as DVD commentary and tourist audio tours.
Daily Lecture Series #1 > Paul Gazzola, Sarah Rodigari & Brigid Noone (SA & NSW) > an onsite, discursive research team exploring curatorial practice and the presentation of knowledge in the public domain.
Decomposition > Stone/Castro (SA) > a theatre dance work about political saviours.
On My Big Day > Mish Grigor & Lachlan Vercoe (NSW) > a perfect day in the future described by a variety of participants and edited into an audio experience for an audience.

Wishing Dark > Julie Vulcan & Ashley Scott (NSW) > a durational performance work exploring a liminal dark world where a perpetual state of searching and recovering is the key to unfolding a mysterious circumstance.
Taking Up Space >
Brown Council (NSW) > a video portrait and live performance work which
examines the agency located in women gathering together in the civic space of a
hall.
I
Met Viborg > The Australian Bureau of Worthiness (SA) > a once-off reprise performance of location-made live performance work I Met, an Adhocracy 2011 project most recently made in the Danish city of
Viborg. A gentle revelation about a place, and a place in time.
reallybigroadtrip > Fee Plumley (SA) > an artist talk exploring reallybigroadtrip, an
experiment in living and breathing creative digital culture, and how digital
culture continues to challenge ideas around art.
Lastly, Adhocracy co-curator Jason Sweeney is curating Adhocrasound,
a micro-survey of some - and only some - of Australia's experimental and
exploratory sound makers. Curated through a process of submissions,
solicitations and soft persuasion, it is a space for you to take time out from
the visual, the live and re-focus, immerse yourself in some sonic landscapes
for while, maybe with a drink in hand, a friend by your side. Enjoy the
(almost) silence. See the Adhocrasound program at the bar for artist and track
details.
Curators: Emma
Webb & Jason Sweeney.
